So I was convinced to sharpen a pair of scissors for a friend.. they seem to be fabric scissors, the smaller metal kind where the blades are quite curved, so only one small point of contact occurs at the cutting edge.
I did read a couple scissor threads from the last few years, but it seems they examine the finer points of scissor sharpening.
My question is pretty basic - how the hell do I do this? I think sharpie and following the bevel can be done I guess, but for the curved backside, do I use the edge of the stone for deburring, and just drag it off the side of the stone? Of course, coarse to clean up the bevel, then polish to satisfaction. They’re not expensive, but have significant sentimental value so I’d rather not bung this up. Does the above procedure sound right? Or does anyone have any suggestions/tips/tricks?
Thanks in advance!
