All those dull old scissors I collected over the years, as they gradually lost their edge, are now SHARP. I stumbled across this product while looking for a knife sharpener. Since I was about to buy yet another pair of scissors, I decided to try it. It really put a good edge on all my shears (except pinking, nail and hair - which it does not sharpen). You have to be somewhat careful holding the blade at the correct angle, as there is a bit of wiggle room under the guide. One practice run with a cheap pair of scissors should suffice, however, and it is wonderful to have really sharp scissors again. Lots of them!

Heavy little machine, this is good. The text mentions it sharpens knifes **(WRONG)** It only sharpens sissors. Ran about 10 pairs thru it and amazing even some pairs the kids used to cut wire with were honed clean of chips in the blade and were razor sharp after. Beware if you have knife edge sissors they include an attachment to do them make sure you use it. Very satisfied with the sharpner. Just wish it did knives too.

This product is wonderful. It was easy to use and does a great job on all my scissors, big or small. I practiced first on my inexpensive scissors but quickly moved on to my sewing scissors. This is an alternative to the expense of professional sharpening.

I am really impressed with this sharpener. As soon as i found out how to tell the difference between knife edge and regular shears I sharpened all of my upholstery shears and they cut like new. I recommend highly but you need to know what type of edge your scissors have and, believe me, it is not that apparent.

this is a fantastic product. I am a seamstress and own a dozen pairs of scissors. In 20 minutes I had them all razor sharp, and some were very dull. Now I can have sharp scissors all the time.

I'm very happy with this purchase. My wife uses scissors quite a bit for her home-based business and it seems like we go through a pair every other month so we've got several dozen pair sitting around needing sharpening. We tired it on a couple pair and the guides worked great and the scissors were very sharp.

Great product, great price, excellent delivery turn-around. This is why I buy a lot from Amazon!

After reading the reviews on this product, I had it on my list of 'things I really would like to have someday' for quite a while. I have tons of different types of scissors, everything from kitchen shears, sewing scissors, craft scissors for all types of crafts and crochet projects, and detail scissors for scrapbooking and card making... along with lots of childrens scissors for the grandkids to use. Seemed like everytime I picked up a pair, they were dull, and I was constantly having to buy new pairs, tossing the old ones in a box...with the thought that someday I would figure out how the heck to sharpen those in a reasonable way. Well, 'someday' arrived. I saved my money up, to finally purchase the Chef's Choice 500 ScissorPro. I read the instructions, hauled out my box of scissors, washed the goo and glu off them first, and proceeded to give it a try, starting with my least fav pair first to practice on (a pair that had a small knick in one blade). I used a papertowel to try a test cut before sharpening. It not only wouldn't cut the towel, it bent it rather than cut, lol. Then after sharpening the pair... voilaaaa...it cut like a charm...cleanly and consistently with each snip (though on this pair, I did run it through several times to even out the knick in the blade)! AMAZING!! So I moved onto the next pair, and the next. Time after time, doing test cuts before and after, on the paper towel, with each pair. AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING... did I say AMAZING?! It worked so well, on literally every pair I sharpened, that I took it over to our kid's houses, had them haul out all their pairs, and sharpened theirs for them too. Now they're saving up for one, as they would like their own. I thought the price was a bit high, but considering how much I've spent over the years on scissors (and gas to have to go out shopping for more), I feel it's worth the money. I only wish I would have had this product years ago, before spending so much on scissors over the years. We also have the knife sharpener (a separate product... this scissor sharpener can't be used for knives)... but the knife sharpener works very well too. Now if they can just invent a product like this for pinking shears and decorative edge scissors.... and toenail clippers.... (lol) Oh yes, almost forgot, the product arrived in a very timely manner, as well. Chef's Choice 500 ScissorPro Professional Diamond Hone Scissor Sharpener

The Scissor Pro is very easy to use and the instructions are clear. The magnetic scissor guide lines up the blade for you. All you have to do is pull the scissor through. When I received it, I must have sharpened 6 pair of scissors. All came out nice and sharp, just like new. I would definitely recommend this product. Great Item, well worth the money.

I purchased this sharpener because the Chef's Choice knife sharpener is wonderful. The scissors sharpener is not so wonderful. It is capable of one angle on the coarse side and two angles on the fine side. If you have scissors with the angle it was made for then it's great. If you have scissors with the "knife edge" angle, there is an adapter for the fine side only. Therefore, if you cut a pin, you can't use the coarse side. If you have different scissors yet, if will completely ruin them. It is quite helpful to take the scissors apart to fit them into the machine.

I purchased this at the same time as Chef'sChoice AngleSelect Knife Sharpener: Exclusive Black mostly for the kitchen, but I also have sewing scissors. I enjoy cooking and I have quality knives and scissors and I wanted to maintain that quality. I often abuse my kitchen scissors as they are sharp and readily available. I was very pleased that this product brought them back to their former glory even though they had several nicks in the blade. If it wasn't for the several birthday checks I received, I am not sure I would have justified the expense of a scissor and a knife sharpener, but I am thrilled to have them as gifts!
