Maybe we should have a contest to see who can wear out one the quickest :wink: Just kidding - but I hate to throw these away seems so wasteful .....
Here is what I was taking apart

Use a 5/32" chain saw sharpening stone. Dremel sells them for use with their rotary tools, pack of 2 for about $4.30...or check your hubby's tool box. ;) Use a drop of oil before you start with the stone though, same as for sharpening anything with a stone.

I am really lucky, in this area. My DH is a professional knife maker so he has all of the sharpening tools at his disposal and is willing to sharpen my scissors and seam ripper whenever it is necessary.

I'm not an industrial engineer, obviously.
