I purchased a. Scissor sharpener at Joann's. it is Fiskars, the same one that the girls use at the cutting counter. I don't wait till they are dull. I just touch them up. One of my fist pair of Fiskars actually came with a blade sharpener-20+ yrs ago but it still works. It is cheaper and easier than sending out. Get out tose coupons and try one!
