We have scissor sharpeners at our local quilt shows. Maybe you can find one at a show near you. My husband knows to NEVER touch my sewing scissors.

Whatever you do-DON'T let him get a hold of your fabric scissors!
|
Give him the ruined pair and buy a new Fiscars for the everyday use.
If it were my DH, he would also get the "IF you EVER lay your hand on my sewing scissors and ruin them, it will not matter, because they will be still be sharp enough for me to stab you." lol |
hair scissors are NOT the same as regular scissors...you need to find a knife/scissor sharpener...

I bought a Fiskars scissor sharpener long time ago...it's a little gadget with a flint stone or something of that time inside it...I run my scissors thru it every month or so, and my scissors stay sharpened and working great. I've had the sharpener for at least 10 years...don't know if they still make them or not, but it was relatively cheap (less than $5) and has lasted a long time.

i also have one that it shaped like a "cause ribbon"..i use for my garden tools. a tavern/bar also has thier knives sharpened. we had a guy come pick ours up once a week. so they know someone that does them. |
My DH did that many years ago, early in our marriage. He then bought me new scissors so I ended up with better scissors anyway. He never tried to sharpen them again-LOL.

I learned a very very long time ago when kids were in Jr High to label my scissors. Didn't matter where I would hide them, they seemed to find them for their school projects. I used a fat black perm. marker to write on the handles of those I could, and the blades on the others. Anything labeled 'paper' or 'kids' they could use. These were cheap scissors that I never used for fabric. Broke them of that habit, but I can still go into my 'older stashes' and find little corners or big chunks cut out of my fabric. Get upset at first, then I have to laugh! Some people's kids!

Sounds like a shopping trip is coming up.
