5.0 out of 5 stars Lasts for years!, August 10, 2008

I have owned one of these for over 10 years. Have been very pleased with the edge it puts on my sewing and utility scissors. Recently I carefully pushed/pulled the little sharpening dowel out with a pair of needle-nose pliers (Just gently wiggle it through the end and then grasp it and pull free). Cleaned it up with a little scrubbing using a powdered cleanser til it was white again. It restored the sharpening ability beautifully! They make great gifts for the beginning sewer or crafter or homeowner you might know. Good little holiday presents!

I've had this sharpener for years now, mostly to sharpen my sewing shears, but I have used them for regular paper-cutting, kitchen and nail scissors and they do a great job. It can be a little hard to get the scissors lined up right, but that might just be me.

I bought this little gadget and then didn't open the package for months. It just didn't look like it could possibly make much impact. It did a great job sharpening my scissors. It saved my old utility scissors from the trash can. They are as good as new. And I no longer have "junk" scissors for use on plastic and "good" scissors for use on paper only! This little thing can make them all like new. It may not perform like the more expensive sharpeners, but it does a great job and the price is right.
