    Hi Wayne, does the stone need to be wet before starting or is this done on a dry stone with dry scissors? TIA

    Sorry, I missed your comment. Dry or wet works. If wet, the stone will cut a little better but most of the time I just use mine dry. Thank you for visiting and have a great day.

    Great stuff Wayne. My husband of 35 years was a superb knife maker. I lost him a few years back. Now being a knife makers wife I do know than a few things about knives in general, kinds of steel, models, history and such. But after he was gone, and when my knives and scissors started getting dull…I uh, well I realized I didn’t know a dang thing about sharpening blades, I never had to! He always whipped out the stone and sharped them before he used them even, or at least was prepared to sharpen. Well, I knew that wouldn’t do. So I started watching videos and I’m become pretty savvy at straight blades, but scissors, well hit and miss. I have a ton of scissors because I wouldn’t throw them away. It’s the principle you know. It’s been awhile so I was looking for new videos. I want to use the stones, between my husband and my daddy (he was a woodworker) I have more stones than you can imagine (that sounds like I’m bragging😊). Besides, I like the feeling of the methodical motions of the stone, it’s like restoring old hand tools which I also do. Went thru several videos but when I came to yours, your style just clicked. Very common sense and familiar. Ok, I’m gonna start tackling this box of scissors. I’ll let you know how I do!

One of friends has an expensive one and his didn't sharpen my scissors as good as the one I bought at Dollar Tree. I got all 6 pairs of my scissors sharpened faster and better than what he did. I'm now confident I'll be able to do my kitchen knives now. Thank you so much.

    Happy wife, happy life! My wife has been asking me to sharpen all the scissors around the house from the kitchen to her craft sets. Heck, I even have a few dull pairs in my own workshop that I just never got around to. Well, today was the day. I did the usual KZread search and the first few were either too complicated or trying to sell me a fancy gadget. Thank you Wayne for this easy, straightforward video that got me the results my wife and I needed. I was able to rescue 10 pairs of scissors in less than 30 minutes! I'm impressed; I'm also subscribed. Great stuff!

    For beginners (like me) it is useful to mark the blade area to be sharpened with an edding. Makes it easier to find the right angle, that is: you got the right angle when the edding colour disappears. Another thing: I just sharpened a pair of scissors and, at the end of the sharpening, used a leather strop for the flat side to remove any burr left. This stropping greatly enhanced the sharpness. All the best for 2024!

    Wayne, thank you for this great video! It was nicely done and you very thoroughly explained the technique and WHY you don’t do certain things. I always find that sooo helpful when you tell someone why they shouldn’t do something (like the backside). You sound like you’re from the south, maybe North Carolina, because that’s where I lived for 25 years and my hubby is a southern boy from NC.

    I'm really pleased with this! It works like a charm kzread.infoUgkxDcr-y2Pf6xdnrFHrSP7dl9kpKaCozcSQ Takes less time than my old electric sharpener because it can take more off the knife faster, and then it smooths out nicely with the finer grit polisher. I don't know how long it will last before the grit wears away, but I wouldn't mind having to replace it every once in a while.

    I have never seen a scissors that comes apart like yours did. I have a couple that have what looks like a screw that could be loosened, but my Farberware one that came with my Knife set doesn't have a way to take it apart. It's weird too because you would expect a quality set like that they would have made it so you could take it apart to sharpen it. Thank you very much for showing us this.

    Hi Wayne. Thank you so much for this video! I bought the sharpest victorinox kitchen scissor and unfortunately it went blunt so fast thanks to it being used as the everything scissors. Haha. I only have one question about your stone, what exactly is it made of and is it course or fine? I have been looking at stones and they are so confusing and expensive, so if I can just get one for everything it will be awesome! Thanks again for your wisdom

  • @DIYwithWayne

    I would suggest you look for one that has a medium side and a fine side. Just stay away from the cheap stones. My Mom has one that is VERY poor, so I told here not to use it and I will sharpen her knives. If you get a fine stone by itself, you will spend a lot of time on a dull edge. Good luck with finding the stone you need. Thank you for visiting and have a great day.
