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.

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.

This is a GREAT edger for Fiskar scissors. This product will work for everyone, however, not for every pair of scissors. Some scissors may be too far gone, and, I suspect, that's why there are some poor reviews.
Basically, there are two steps to truly sharpening a pair of scissors -- creating the edge, and truing the edge. As you cut with a sharp blade (scissors, or knife) the edge becomes microscopically bent over into a curl. So, eventually your need to "true" the edge, or make it flat and straight again. That's what this tool does. Similarly, using a sharpening steel does this for a knife.
The edge can be trued many, many times, before you actually need to grind an entirely new edge. But eventually, if the edge is too degraded (nicks, or just too blunt), the only solution is to grind an entirely new edge.

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.
