on sharpening scissors...
I inherited several pair of scissors when my sister passed away. They are good brands but they are dull and don't cut well.
I thought there had been a thread here on the board about this, but my searches yielded no results. Are scissors even worth sharpening now days? Is it expensive to have done, or hard to do oneself?
I would love to use her scissors in her memory, but if they can't be productive tools, I really don't have room to just store them.
If they can't be salvaged, I would just keep one pair in her memory and discard the others. There are 5 pair all together.

Call your LQS and ask them if they have someone they send scissors to be sharpened out to. I know our Viking dealer here in town sends them out to be sharpened. But the little LQS doesn’t. It’s pretty small and just changed hands.
