How To Scissors... how do you sharp them?

[brasileiro]

Ok. Let’s talk about scissor.
I read before that you can remove the burr of a scissor using a flat high grit stone on inside blade face, that one that will make contact with opposite blade.

Thinking about this way, would not creating a gap between the blades?

Let’s assume that you start at 600 grit stone.
So would you keeping that burr and progressing the stone (600>800>100) until that burr becomes a thin burr or would you remove the burr with each sharpening stone before go to next stone?

What grit would you use before stop sharpening? Low grit? Medium grit? High grit?

Would you strop it?

Some scissors have just like a micro serration on bevel, and I believe is to avoid slipping when cutting.
Could you reproduce this pattern using stones?

Im talking about general cloth scissor and cloth is more difficult to cut than paper.

Thanks.

It's not advisable to take a stone to the interior of the blades, and it can ruin them if done wrong. Sharpen the beveled edge only, and snipping the scissors a few times should clear off the burr on its own. It's possible to use a curved stone with a large radius like a scythe stone to touch up the inside of a blade if you know what you're doing, but get experienced with the regular sharpening procedure before ever attempting something like that.

You finish off the sharpening process by holding the scissor blades apart and closing them, then opening them to remove the burr AND burnish a land. Do this a few times before closing them like you are cutting something, this step is critical. I like polished edges so I finish everything with my 4k EP polishing stone, which leaves virtually no burr to deal with.

Ok. Do you mean assemble it closed and open it to remove the burr, disassemble and assemble closed and open...?
Is burnishing a land a polishing?
Sorry by my language.

After you have sharpened the scissors hold the tips apart while you close them so the cutting edges don't come into contact, then open normaly so the cutting edges rub as you open them. This will remove the burr and burnish a small land where they rub. Ben Dale taught me this around 25 years ago.

Thanks for explanation and sorry again by my English language. I really couldn’t find a translation to Portuguese that exemplified it.
