Sharpening scissors with microserrations

Sharpening scissors with microserrations - Office Supplies on a Plain White Background

I own Sabatier Proffessional scissors (like those). One of the blades has microserrations along the edge (see the picture below). How should I sharpen them? I presume that I'd destroy the serrations if I just tried sharpening it the same way as I do with non serrated edge?

As far as the tools go, I own Work Sharp Knife and Tool Sharpener (which I like very much) and Spyderco Sharpmaker (which I was not able to use to its full potential, hence replaced that with WSKT).

Serrated edge



Best Answer

My experience is that you can't sharpen microserrated blades effectively, and generally end up damaging them.

I recommend contacting Sabatier instead, or talking to a professional knife sharpener.

What is the best tool to sharpen scissors?

The best methods for sharpening scissors are on diamond or ceramic plates or rods, or fine belt sharpeners like the Work Sharp Original Knife and Tool Sharpener. If you don't have these tools you can use a honing rod or even a piece of hardened steel like a drill bit.

AnySharp will work with any other blade with a V shape, as long as it fits. It can even sharpen an axe or any other double bevel tool - but not scissors, which tend to have a single sided bevel!
