Chef’sChoice 500 ScissorPro Professional Diamond Hone Scissor Sharpener, 2-Stage, White
Sharpen your scissors at home and achieve professional quality sharpness with unparalleled simplicity! The scissor Pro electric scissors sharpener model 500 is a must have tool for those who rely on sharp scissors:This home scissor sharpener adds a professional-level edge to a wide variety of scissors from household and sewing scissors, to kitchen shears, to fly-tying scissors without requiring the user to disassemble the blades. The freestanding ScissorPro features two sharpening slots, each containing a curved disc coated with diamond abrasives. One disc offers a fine grind to form a razor-sharp edge during the first stage of sharpening and the other a coarse grind to hone or sharpen at a wider angle and add the finishing touches. A patented construction of magnets and plastic springs that the manufacturer calls Magne-Flex technology align scissor blades in the guides at the correct angle and provide the right amount of pressure and stability for sharpening. Since diamonds are the only element strong enough to truly sharpen and hone a blade, this tool produces long-lasting results, even on double-beveled blades. Plus, the rotating motion of the discs ensures high-quality scissors won’t distemper. Included instructions teach how to properly move scissor blades through the slots for safe, optimum sharpening results. The ScissorPro sharpener plugs into any AC outlet, and is covered by a one-year limited warranty. –Cristina Vaamonde

It will even make those useless blunt end kids scissors cut paper. If you want something that to sharpen scissors that actually works, this is it. (I was not given free stuff to write this…
A great scissor sharpener for home! Well, most home-based electric scissor sharpeners sharpen scissors in name only… this sharpener actually does work. I was able to sharpen several pairs of Fiskars I use every day as well as a number of pairs of embroidery scissors (the reason I bought this sharpener) The only down side is that I have not figured out how to sharpen kitchen shears yet, the blades seem too fat to fit into the slot for the sharpening stone. I assume this is not the tool for that type of scissors. I sew and quilt…
