I just sharpened this old cheap carbon scissors. It has a hollow ground on the back, very similar to Japanese single bevel knives, it's from Taiwan, a country with a lot of Japanese influence.
The bevel angle was too steep for any proper sharpening, so, I thinned out the whole bevel on coarse silicon carbide stone, previous users didn't thin the blade at all when sharpening on grinding machines and didn't do any 'uraoshi'. No one knows how to do that at all, just mindlessly grinding on machine. Now it's very sharp.
Does anyone of you use scissors and sharpen them?
