can this sharpen scissors?

I would assume scissors are fine as long as they aren't serrated, or pinking shears or the like. I haven't tried scissors so I can't say definitively.

This unit is awesome for knives, but I don't believe the slots in the unit would allow for scissor blades to pass through them. Nor would the sharpening or honing blades of the unit sharpen scissors at the correct angle.

NO, because scissors are beveled at a different angle. The same company makes a very similar looking sharpener that is designed especially for scissors.

Yes it can. I can say that I only sharpen colored pencils once with this sharpener.

Yes. I sharpened a pair just this morning. The scissor blades need to open wide enough to accommodate the height of the sharpener, or if your blades come apart, that would even be easier.

Yes, it sharpens any wooden pencil as long at the diameter fits in one of the holes. Mine works great!

I don't know. I'm under the impression that serrated knives in general cannot be sharpened.

Don't even try it unless you want to ruin your scissors! Scissors are considered shears with the sharpened bevel on opposite sides of each blade. Use this sharpener and your scissors may never cut again. In the past, I did jobs using a precision scissors sharpening machine for a commercial drapery company.

yes, but it won't guide your angle well. Like scissors, shears can be tricky. I'd highly recommend doing a search for a video demo of the best way to maintain your cutting edges.

No, the sharpeners do a fabulous job on knives, scissors but will not work for a mower blade, loppers, etc.

I absolutely would not recommend it for that purpose. There are far easier ways to sharpen a metal knife; and scissors would be to thick for the sharpener.

It does, But takes a little more care and attention. It means you have to lean the scissors over on to the Flat edge to ensure that you are only sharpening one side. Takes a little more time but works...

Yes, you can! As long as the blade is straight and not serrated. I've gone through my knives (including pocket knives) and sharpened everything.

Yes, just be sure your shun is not a single sided edge. I have two shuns and it sharpens them beautifully.

I am not aware. I think unlikely, however I really like this sharpener and would purchase again.

I don't see why not....I used this sharpener on a machete and a lot of other knives , it did a real good job .

Yes but to make sharper .. YouTube a video on how.. as simple as raising the blade closer to the edge

it will do regular scissors and scissors for hair cutting. I am fairly confident that it can sharpen electrician scissors as well. This tool comes with a significant amount of adjustment settings for angles so that it should make sharpening electrician scissors entirely possible.
