To sharpen a tool, you'll need to cut a piece of sandpaper (P600 or P300) evenly.

The main thing here is not to do it haphazardly, because this is the key to success.

First, open the scissors so that the angle between the blades is 90 degrees. Then press the sandpaper against the point where the blades intersect and make a cut until the scissors are completely closed. Repeat this process at least 25 times, and then turn the sandpaper over and make another 25 cuts on the opposite side.

This effective and simple method will allow you to sharpen your scissors efficiently and effortlessly. This is an ideal option for those who do not want to take their scissors to a master for sharpening.
