How To Sharpen Scissors

[LoneKnight6212]

can also lubricate a scissor blade quickly and restore it using waxed paper folded only if that didn't work would I try the above

[howtofold190]

why cant you use the things you sharpen knives with?!

[BayviewFinch]

By the time I buy sandpaper and steel wool, I could've bought a new pair of scissors.

[sairuhhxD]

Worked great!

[hollyfernandez25]

this is actually great for hair dressers our shears cost about 165 or or

[Mustacheftw]

@hollyfernandez25 Don't use this crude, last ditch method on your shears, nor them again on your customers.

[appljuicekiss]

worked like a charm for me!

[appljuicekiss]

worked like a charm for me!

[bloopgal27]

of just get new scissors

[mackawack12346]

I STILL DONT FUCKING UNDERSTAND THIS SHIT!!!

[BulletFMValentine3]

They already have a quick tips of this, do they really need a longer one? :L

[MegaChikano]

OW GREAT NOW ULL SEE 5 YEAR OLDS TRYING THIS!...I HOPE CHUCKY DINDT SEE THIS VIDEO....

[Spartan0190]

Didnt you guys make a quick tip about this, with cutting 7-8 sheets of foil

[acid478]

Sharpening stones work just as well.

[MadameRaven]

has no one here heard of stainless steel?

[TheLemonLily]

@MrCorey45 dry them dumbass

[Ingethal]

These type of quick solutions MAY sharpen your scissors but shouldn't replace a proper sharpening using a stone or a motorized flat whetstone.

[TheEmoTrinityXXX]

Rust isnt achemical response with water, it is a chemical respone with oxygen in the air, knowing this, many metal sciossors contain things to protect the metal.

[mrhulot101]

Do Not follow this advise. This is how you will make your scissors even worse!

[mackawack12346]

what the fuck. I DON"T UNDERSTAND!

[Ingethal]

@mackawack12346 mack100? is that you dilhole?

[munniauk]

or just use a knife sharpner

[munniauk]

@munniauk



[MrGeorgeFTW]

BULLSHIT

[lioxoda]

Literally the fastest way to blunt your scissors DO NOT do this! I tried it and my £20 scissors are in the bin now thanks to this rubbish. If you find it works, post, cos as far as I'm concerned, it doesn't.

[sharpkeet]

@sharpkeet

[exikoz]

A way to sharp a scissor is with a needle much better then this crap

[tonjay2002]

ALTHOUGH CUTTING THROUGH SAND PAPER, I FELT I WAS WASTING, BUT IT WORKED.

[Jakke45]

Step 8. clean your eyeballs taking the sandpaper and steel wool.

[jailbirdx0x]

try putting it inside the freezer...mine becomes even sharper when i did that!

[armidons]

shit of sand paper

[MrMagician874]

why bother, buy a new one

[hcvang]

@MrMagician874 cause the world needs all your discarded scissors to lie around, taking up room, polluting the planet, right?

you need only do it with one of the options.. sandpaper, tinfoil or steel wool. notice she checked the sharpness after each method was used, and said that you could do this and that if they had not been sharpened enough.

[ambey1323]

i think howcast is useful idk why haters watch this then!!?

[charnator]

finally a howcast video that is actually usefull

[tigerspartan06]

this one is actually good :)

[megajames3000]

it rust if it isn't dried it has to react with oxygen long enough to rust

[SadRabbits]

oh what a usefull video!! i guarentee that nowone has ever had the need to sharpen their scissors

[phillyfan856]

wait! sharpin scissors for safety??? isnt that the oppesit?

[Synergy9k]

@phillyfan856 No.

The same applies to kitchen knives.

It's far more dangerous to use a dull blade because you're more likely to screw up and cut your finger off.

[phillyfan856]

@Synergy9k ya but how do u cut off your finger with a dull blade? see what im sayin?? anybody else agree???

[Synergy9k]

@phillyfan856 Sorry I'm not explaining this well.

With a dull blade, you're more likely to slip or try something stupid to try to make your blade more effective.

I know it sounds ridiculous, but believe me, it's true.

[phillyfan856]

@Synergy9k as a example.... your telling me that its safer to drive a car fast then it is to drive it slow? see what i meaan?

[Synergy9k]

@phillyfan856 I see what you mean, but it doesn't work that way with blades.

[xXnayeliXxX]

"How To Sharpen Scissors"

you will need: Scissors.... o.O

[gonzo191]

why not just sharpen with a sharpening stone

[powerdbycomedy]

I just use my hard dick.

[shakespearelove27]

why am i watching this again?

[AoEVideos]

O.O Awesome, i will try this when my scissors become blunt.

[snager80]

awesome!

i've already been doing all that.. but i thought it was making them DULLER. i needed to know something like this for those really good $50 scissors, though. but i read in Quilting for Dummies that you can cut up some steel wool for sewing scissors, too. i've never tried, though. all i have is tin foil and sand paper.

[MyLoveForCanada]

Yeah...I just tried this.

It worked negative... My sewing scissors are freakin worthless now :(

UGH.

[TheKarlProductions]

I think rinsing your scissors with water will just make it rust...

[Synergy9k]

@TheKarlProductions Uh, no.  You'd have to have them soaking in water for WAY longer than a few seconds.

[TheKarlProductions]

@Synergy9k I thought even a quick soak will rust it. Thanks for the information!

[assaultcr3w]

@TheKarlProductions Just dry them?

[tigerspartan06]

@TheKarlProductions dry em?

[TheKarlProductions]

@tigerspartan06 Ok... Drying is good

[sincityfire]

@TheKarlProductions Not if you dry it.

[iLuvBaNkAi]

@TheKarlProductions maybe you got a lousy scissors

[TheKarlProductions]

@iLuvBaNkAi No, I just saw him soaking that scissor blade with water and I don't have lousy scissors, lousy scissors cost like 20 cents or so.

[NamesROverated]

@TheKarlProductions it's called a towel, man

[flewPpp]

@TheKarlProductions Most scissors are made from stainless steel

[Breendoh]

@TheKarlProductions not only are most scissors made from stainless steel but also rust doesn't happen instantly. its called drying them, off...

[Ingethal]

@TheKarlProductions not if you dry them thoroughly and then treat them with some Rem oil or other water displacing rust preventative.................

[blanknot]

@TheKarlProductions Dry them with a towel after rinsing.

[NGxREALITYxFANTASY]

yup use to be a quick tip. this is just the long version =/

[StrawberriiTeddyBear]

O_o They have them at the 99 cent store. .

[gxb0164]

Modern scissors are made of cheap china steel and are not worth the effort. Unless one buys a very expensive pair of greater quality.

[Rainb0wWarri0r]

wasn't this a quick tip earlier? or wasn't this already posted?? o_O

[JustinBaker2567]

Sharp scissors or more important for harder work, like cutting leather or other hard fabrics.

[bygmikeee]

steel wool is great for the 4th of july!

[rerundadog]

Sharpining scissors is for people who dont have enough money to buy some

[TheMujur]

not even

[CchadPpherd]

@PumaM12LRV you fail

[bitofdaweek]

did u know i dont give a shit!

[EuroPowa]

Yeah, I dont get the physics behind this...

[Yargbarg123]

What if the scissors are soo dull that you cant cut through any of those things? Then it would just be time to buy a new pair for 50c.

[iforgotaboutit]

Sharp scissors = safety??

[TheMujur]

maybe?



[sharpkeet]

all these materials probably cost more than the scissors...

[mimo144]

@sharpkeet But most of it can be find in the kitchen and we can use it in other things

[vaiol123]

@sharpkeet I wasn't aware aluminum foil was that expensive ;)

[lordtyamat]

@sharpkeet : al materials are HANDY AT HOME right on time when need it (thats the main idea), specialy aluminum foil and steel wool if you wash cookware, how cheap are all those who vote up that comment....lol

[xkakashix12]

howcast re-uploads videos...

[juan909s]

:l seriously, unless you have loads of fine sand paper, aluminum foil, AND steel wool just laying around, it would be much cheaper to just buy a new set of scissors...

[pnoysoul]

#FAIL

[The2DumbPlumbers]

fake and gay

[techguy3000]

How does sharping scissors make is more safer?

[9108ronaldo]

go to the dollar tree and get a new pair. is that so hard to figure out?

[CHA0SBLEEDS]

okay now i KNOW you did this video before. Though I think it was only a quick time so I might let you off... @AeonRider I have :P

[MrShankerX]

If my scissors are dull, how am I going to cut the sand paper?

[CchadPpherd]

too poor to spend $2 bucks?

[HypeLa3G]

MAN SCREW ALL THESE STEPS JUST GET A CHAINSAW!!

[dylanmart93]

A lot of work..

I Guess the better way is just buying a new one.. O.o

[myfrianoel]

[muglecruzle]

[KOHIO91]

[tigerspartan06]

[naovsky]

This should be a quick tip.

[will0nater]

Heres an Idea, Just get the Industrial sisors from the garage

[MyLoveForCanada]

I'll try this and get back to ya :)

Very useful.

[q8wizard]

Very educational =O

[Purple2Hill]

I see most of the comments are written by lazy people, who better buy new ones instead of sharpen the old.

[AnobisBloodwing]

its better tou have 3 stones 600 1000 and 1500 grit +/- and sharpen them that way. Its better and you have a mutch mutch scharper scissors. that last way longer than those way's. and if your buget is real low. you can yous your car window to sharpen them.

[Doct8r]

I love Howcast.I think I'm addicted

[muzamil777]

@Doct8r yeah i think that to

[sehaam19]

Interesting....  I'd rather buy a new one. :\

[gaurd5002]

@PumaM12LRV #FAIL

[invaderjupitor]

[dtihkse]

howcast ran out of how-to's a long time ago

[SadRabbits]

ok. my scissors are to dull to cut paper so i have to cut aluminum foil and sand paper?? how the fuck can i do that?

[TheAlen081]

@SadRabbits Try try again :D

[sfshrimp]

So scissors that can't cut through paper can cut through several sheets of aluminum foil, sandpaper, and steel wool!?!?!

[BeyondDestiny]

Next week on Howcast: How to walk

[Yamakashi1]

@BeyondDestiny how to jerk off.

[jedisponge16]

"It's important to keep your household scissors sharp for efficiency, and safety." How is it safe if your scissors are razor sharp??

[mysoSK]

@jedisponge16 if they're dull, the risk of injury increases (you have to apply more pressure, chnge angles of cutting etc.) - same thing with a knife. I have very rarely cut myself with a razor sharp knife - more often with a dull one.

[ricc2154]

I guess, 31 people liked murdering with scissors.

[kkkkkkkkkksora123]

first you need, a pair of scissor's. duh?

[ztscar13]

for efficiency and SAFETY?? lol keep your scissors razor sharp for safety kids

[AnneFTW]

How do you tell if they "seem sharp enough"?

[domainalias]

aluminum foil....... 2 dollars

sand paper ........1 dolar

steel wool....... 0,5 dolar

scissors....... 1,5 dolars

waste 1:07 minutes of your life........ priceless

[Yamakashi1]

@domainalias AHHAAHAHAHHA

[CchadPpherd]

@domainalias epic win

[george2648]

or sharpen them with a knife

[admc8]

after you do all this wouldn't it just be cheaper to buy new ones?

[BeyondDestiny]

@admc8

[RockGuitarPlayer55]

OR just by a new pair of scissors for $1...

[ra2yuri4]

A $1.19 scissors at the discount store would solve all of my problems.

[antxcore25]

OK! so what happens if you have one pair of bad scissors? you have to CUT sandpaper and CUT aluminium foil!

[oORlxOo]

UNSUBBED

[videogamenostalgia]

What a tightwad asshole

[gigantibyte]

Neat. I've cut steel wool soap pads before to make them smaller. Always thought it was bad for the scissors.

[sawyerbobby]

i sharpen my scissor by using a long neck glass bottle,just do a cutting action on the bottle's neck up and down.

[Doctorcrazytoontown]

This just shows if you want to sharpen your scissors, use it more often on other things.

[Pivotanimator10]

wtf, how would sharpening scissors make it better for safety, if its sharper, you can easily cut your finger.

[Maticus2009]

@Pivotanimator10

A clean cut heals faster than a jagged cut by dull blades.

[Pivotanimator10]

@Maticus2009 oh i guess i never thought of that..

[JohnRLange]

How are you supposed to cut the sandpaper if your scissors are dull?

[lexxypexxy]

and where am i going to get sandpaper?

[killajuggaloz5]

@lexxypexxyhomedepot or lowes 

[yousefzoq]

FIRST. I'm sorry, but this video was SOO boring I just had nothing else to say.

[Brand0n777]

I think its cheaper just to buy new scissors... 0.0

[DaleStrickland]

@CollegeLoheart

Well, what do you expect for an answer with such a broad comment? You commented that a video about sharpening scissors has made you lose respect for Europeans. Asking why doesn't make anyone an idiot.
