4.0 out of 5 stars Does a pretty good job with most scissors, May 10, 2007

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.

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

By	Cookie - See all my reviews

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!

If you need ultra-sharp scissors, this little gadget is for you. It will return the edge to near new condition with only a few strokes. It is very small and very easy to fit into any kind of sewing or took kit. We have given many away as gifts after using one ourselves. I am not sure how long it will last (as in month or years, not day or weeks) but it does seem reasonably durable.
