I've often heard that if you cut paper with your fabric scissors that the scissors are ruined.

Ruined for good? You can sharpen scissors, right? That should "fix" them, no?

I'm assuming this doesn't apply to the serrated edge scissors, or what Gingher calls their "Knife Edge" scissors. - the sharpening part anyway. So are they ruined then? Or can they be sharpened professionally again?

Do any of you sharpen at home? What sort of "stone" or sharpener do you use?

Also, for any of you who have Gingher Scissors.... uh... do they look like this? These ones have bounced off the floor a couple of times, but I didn't think it was hard enough to bend them...

This is just part of the left handed or right handed bend, isn't it?

I'm a little ashamed to say I didn't look that carefully at them until after they'd bounced a few times.
