    I have had my Fiskars scissors since 1977. I am just sharpening them for the first time. I love the small sharpener. It lets me sharpen the entire blade. My scissors have only ever been used for fabric and they have served me well all these years.

    Thank you for this! I’ve been freaking out because the scissors we have at work are getting dull and my boss doesn’t want to spend any money to get them sharpened. Then today while cleaning the dust out of a back corner shelf I found a scissors sharpener! I had no idea how to use it but at least I found it, so now after watching your video I can try sharpening our scissors on my next shift.

    I don’t put both blades through the smaller sharpener at the same time, because you’re right. They catch when you close them & don’t come through smoothly. I put one blade through at a time - top then bottom. Each comes through very smoothly with a nice result.

    • @2howlingmonkeys71
      @2howlingmonkeys71  3 года назад +1

      You're talking about the smaller sharpener? I agree. It was made to sharpen both sides at one time, but doesn't work right. Thank you for your suggestion.

    very nice gal! I use and sell the 8" and you hit it. Thanks for the idea about the better sharpener. I also use the rotary, on self healing mats.
    The suggestion to limit fabric scissors to use only on fabrics is spot on, if you want it to last almost indefinitely.

    Thanx for this clear video. I found the smaller sharpener in a drawer. The picture example on the product is not great. I set the sharpener on the counter with my hand on the edge. It worked better this time. I don't sew. Im just using them on an inexpensive general use pair.
    Works well.

  • @pauljs75
    @pauljs75 3 года назад +1

    The Fiskars sharpeners tend to be nice because they're ceramic rod and not too overly aggressive. (Last thing you'd want around scissors is one of those carbide sharpeners.) And the other way around that normally doesn't work allows for sharpening the odd set of left-handed scissors - although most people don't have or need those.
    Other than that, Durasharp makes some nice (ceramic-alloy?) titanium scissors for under $30 - and then you may not need to use the sharpener at all with those. (The sharpener still comes in handy for restoring any old scissors laying around though.) In my experience the titanium scissors don't rust or dull, short of doing something that would purposely ruin scissors anyways. Obviously they're not pruners, wire cutters, nor tin snips.

  • @alxsness7167
    @alxsness7167 7 лет назад +4

    The product description for the Fiskars' tabletop sharpener says not for use "Not for use with left-handed scissors, pinking shears, scissors with serrated blades or razor-edge scissors". Have you found that it works well with your razor-edge scissors? Do you know why the manufacturer would discourage use with the razor-edge type?

    • @2howlingmonkeys71
      @2howlingmonkeys71  7 лет назад +2

      These are expensive scissors that were sharpened extra sharp and hardened. They are technically not supposed to dull. If they are sharp, then stay away from sharpening them. However, if you've used them so much that they are now dull, then you can sharpen them to improve them. They will never get to be as sharp is they were originally, but they will be better than how they ended up. If you sharpen them while they are still sharp, then you will make them duller. I hope that helps.

    My new model of fiskars sharpener looks like it has plastic pieces on the inside they are white I can’t touch them but they don’t look shiny and silver or metal like yours? I don’t know if they replaced it with a cheaper piece on the inside or what?

    • @2howlingmonkeys71
      @2howlingmonkeys71  3 года назад

      I'm not sure. They might be coated metal pieces, I've seen that on some sharpeners. It's a coating that is kinda like sandpaper. It sharpens in its' own way.

    Gosh, I never realised that I was meant to draw my scissors backwards through the handheld sharpener. Thank you for that. I also did not realise the hand held sharpener was coated, I had always presumed the bar was ceramic. My question is, if you are using flat scissors (ie, ones without the micro groove thingies you have on your scissors), do you still get a nice smooth smooth edge with the tabletop sharpener given that the bars are ridged or do you think they might end up with a few burrs?

    The tabletop sharpener is actually NOT meant for the RAZOR EDDGE series of scissors such as the pair of fiskars amplify shown in the video. They are a more severe angle and could be damaged if used with a normal scissor sharpener

    • @rupert274
      @rupert274 4 года назад

      I was going to suggest the same thing; different types of scissors have different angled bevels on the blades and the angle of this sharpener is fixed so presumably only suitable for the general-purpose scissors.

    • @imperials5507

    • @2howlingmonkeys71
      @2howlingmonkeys71  8 лет назад +1

      +Angela Summers There are two sets of notches inside one of the orange pieces. Each bar is laid across one set of notches. They can move easily, so don't shake the plastic piece. Take the other orange plastic piece and carefully line it up with the other piece. Snap it together. If it doesn't snap together, then the metal bars have shifted and need to be adjusted. That's all there is to it. Good luck.

      I'm sorry to hear that. They have been nothing but great for us. Having a sewing business, we use them all the time. Is it possible that you're not using them correctly. If you use them wrong, they will dull your scissors, rather than sharpen them. Just something to consider.
