How to Sharpen Shears with Sandpaper… The Right Way (Not the YouTube Way)

You’ve probably seen those “life hack” videos claiming you can sharpen scissors or shears with a piece of sandpaper. In this video, I put that idea to the test and explain why it doesn’t work the way they show it. While sandpaper can be useful in the sharpening process, it must be used correctly — on a proper sharpening machine — not just folded in your hand.

I’ll show you the difference between dragging shears across loose sandpaper (which can actually damage your edge) and using abrasive papers the right way in professional sharpening. If you’re serious about keeping your shears in top condition, don’t fall for shortcuts.

👉 Watch to learn the truth, save your shears from harm, and see how sandpaper really fits into professional sharpening.
