Knife Sharpening

I have a ceramic knife sharpener that looks like this one

 

(bit big, sorry)

and another that I just bought -   

 

I also have a whetstone, but can't be bothered with that one.

 

My question is..............can I sharpen scissors on either of those?

 

They come apart,  so no problem there

 Or,  do they need to be professionally sharpened?

I sharpen my scissors by cutting through steel-wool or sandpaper. Works well.

Re: Knife Sharpening

We have one of those grinder things in the shed................... I asked OH to sharpen my scissors for me in the early days.

They were very expensive and precious scissors with lovely sharp points.

He brought them back, all smiles................ and said now they are sharp and safe.

He had filed off the points so I wouldn't stab myself.

I now sharpen my own ๐Ÿ™‚
