Do not use a sharpening stone on dull scissors. Apply the following method to make the scissors as sharp as new ones bought from the store: Simple but effective

When to Replace (Not Repair)

If your scissors:

• Have chipped or bent blades
• Feel gritty or stiff at the pivot
• Won’t close fully
  — it may be time to replace them. Even the best sharpening can’t fix structural damage.

Final Thought: Respect the Tool

Scissors are precision instruments—not just “cutting tools.” Treat them with care, and they’ll last decades (many tailors still use 30-year-old shears!).

This foil method won’t turn bargain-bin scissors into heirlooms—but for most household dullness, it’s shockingly effective, free, and safe.

So grab that foil, snip with purpose, and enjoy the quiet joy of a clean, crisp cut.

✂️ Sharp scissors don’t just work better—they make every task feel a little more precise, a little more satisfying.
