If so...at home with a regular sharpening stone? Or would I have to take them somewhere?
These were only 5 or 6 dollar scissors, but i love them because arthritis has made my joints large, and my thumbs get stuck in other scissors...so I would really like to sharpen these. I can't find any like them, or I'd have bought backups by now! Thanks, Donna

You might PM Scissorman and ask your questions.

I sharpen mine with a small hand help sharpener that you can get just about anywhere, it has 2 little sharpening sticks in it. Works great. Never send mine out to be sharpened.
