I'm really pleased with this! It works like a charm kzitem.infoUgkxDcr-y2Pf6xdnrFHrSP7dl9kpKaCozcSQ Takes less time than my old electric sharpener because it can take more off the knife faster, and then it smooths out nicely with the finer grit polisher. I don't know how long it will last before the grit wears away, but I wouldn't mind having to replace it every once in a while.

You do a great job with them, and it’s just so enjoyable to watch you do something improvised or New, or just to take special pride enough craft. Thanks for taking us on your journey. By way of giving back, the scissors sharpen easily by cutting aluminum foil. Just folding a piece of aluminum foil over, snipping it, just sharpens them right back up again in a pinch when a persons away from the workshop. :-)

Over the years I have bought several Victorinoxes, but the one I am most fond of is in Switzerland - in a sort of Autogrill - forty years ago now. I use it all day, I live in the country, and I must say that I have never felt the need to sharpen the scissors, although I often use them on myself for "delicate surgical operations" on the toe nails ... (instead, I redo the edge to the main blade every time I need a precise and clean cut, surprising me every time by the longevity of this tool).

I have a really cheap garden pruning shears that cuts way better than a (somehow) expensive Fiskars I also have. I was disappointing about the Fiskars cause is more ergonomic, way better steel and way sharper, but fails to cut properly. It felt that it had bad geometry, but after this video is plainly clear, and I can try to fix it. Thank you for yet another wonderful video!

The shearing angle needs to match the material being cut. Look at an old-fashioned paper cutter and compare that angle to a pair of metal-cutting snips. If you cut metal with the paper shears they would dull quickly, and if you cut paper with the metal snips the cut would be ragged. There is also the mechanical force between the blades; for them to 'shear' the cutting surfaces must always be in contact with each other. The surface hardness of the metal resists wear and the in-depth hardness resists denting. We think of scissors blades as being straight but the good one's aren't. Hold them up to a light sideways while closed and you'll see light between the blades toward the pivot while the tips touch. Open them slowly and watch the contact point move toward the pivot. Also look at the blades on the plane where they slide across each other. Again what you thought was flat isn't- that is slightly concave or angled, and because of that when the edges rub across each other any small dents in the cutting surface either get sheared off or pushed back into shape by the other blade. This is what creates the "self-sharpening" action. So once again we find something which seems very simple, yet is actually very complex if it's done well. There is a lot of thought in making good general-purpose scissors which must both cut delicate things such as paper cleanly, yet not deform or chip when cutting something harder like wood or light metals. And once again the older non-stainless carbon steels do a much better job than newer alloys because of their overall properties and how they can be hardened both in-depth and on a surface only. Mr. Immler's trick of finding and holding the angle while sharpening is awesome, and as long as the correct angle is used will work for sharpening any shears or scissors. Another great video from the world's Master of Victorinox :)
