Review: Didn't work at first... - .. and I actually thought I might have ruined my Fiskar scissors, they felt duller after I tried to sharpen them. So, I ran over there and started reading all the reviews, and a few people described exactly how they got it to work for them. And I realized... I simply hadn't done it enough times! I had run the blades through maybe 3 times, then tried to cut a piece of fabric, and it simply slipped between the blades. (I should mention here that these scissors are actually over 20 years old and have NEVER been used on fabric, I used to be a heavy duty paper crafter!) After reading the reviews, and grabbed that sharpener and my abused scissors and went to work. I counted each stroke, at 15 I tried them... they cut through the fabric (a small piece of an old sheet), but not quite perfectly... so on to another 10 strokes. And those babies are as sharp as when I bought them, if not sharper! I could now use them for fabric, but I have a "good" pair of scissors for my fabric use, so these will stay paper scissors for cutting patterns. But as for the sharpener? It works WONDERFULLY!!! These scissors were EXTREMELY dull, bending paper rather than cutting it... and now they cut fabric! WITHOUT expensive sharpening services. Yep, very happy with this little devil! It was a great purchase, was priced well, and it WORKS!
Review: Great scissors sharpener - small in size and easy to use - I love the Fiskars SewSharp scissors sharpener. It is convenient to use on all sizes of scissors and small enough to keep in my project box. Now I can keep my sewing and embroidery scissors sharp all the time.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Example of how to hold scissors for proper sharpening?**
A: Hi Darlene:The directions are on the back of the package. If you are right handed, hold the sharpener in your left hand with your thumb in the front and your index finger in the back. You will see that there are two circular indentations on each side. Hold the sharpener with the open notch pointing upward. Hold your scissors in your right hand, slip the lower blade into the lower slot, and rest the upper blade in the open notch. Now squeeze the handles together as if you would to cut something and pull toward your scissors towards you at the same time. Insert, squeeze and pull. Repeat that several times. I am left handed and can sharpen my left-handed scissors holding the sharpener in my right hand and the scissors in my left hand and this works for right or left handed scissors. The only time it could get complicated is if you have an older pair of left handed scissors with right-handed blades. In this case you would have to hold the scissors in your right hand and the sharpener in the left hand. And yes, I still have my first pair of left handed Fiskars dressmaking shears from the early 60's, that have right handed blades! After using this sharpener on my oldest pair of Fiskars, it is sharper than my three newer Fiskar dressmaking shears. Okay, so let's say you don't like the squeezing action. There is another way to sharpen the blades. Holding the scissors, open the blades and slip one blade into the lower slot and slide the sharpener back and forward along the blade several times. Flip the scissors over and repeat with the other blade. In this case you are not moving the scissors, but simply the sharpener, sliding it to and fro. You will see that the scissor blades are cut at an angle and the ceramic pin is inserted at an angle. So align the angle of your blade with the angle of the ceramic pin. I hope this helps. E-me back and let me know how you do. - Angela

**Q: Does this sharpener work well? I bought the Smith's 50185 Jiffy-Pro and it did NOTHING but make my scissors more dull.**
A: Sometimes these gadgets or gimmicks so to speak make things worse or dull the scissors!

**Q: What is the difference between item 98547097 for $6.99 and the New Version for $29.95?**
A: This is a little compact space saver handheld model while the larger one is a tabletop version but could probably do a better job knowing the tabletop version sits level on a counter while being easier to draw the scissors through rather than trying to it up in the air as opposed to the compact one.

**Q: Can you purchase a replacement rod separately? I have had this for years and the rod fell out.**
A: I've never heard of it.   if the old one fell out and can't be replaced, how would you hold a new one in?
