I agree with contacting Fiskars, for advice. Years ago, my beloved pinking shears were getting hard to use, so I gave them a drop of (sewing machine) oil, up where blades joined. That turned out to be their undoing. The oil apparently attracted more lint and before long, it was a major struggle to open/close them, at all. Sometimes what seems like the logical thing to do, can be the wrong thing to do.

I've oiled lots of my scissors. However, I made a point of wiping off most of the oil, too.

I have them and love them. I use a drop of the oil I use for my machine, or a spray of silicon. Works fine and does not gum up.

It's suppose to be short. No way to accidentally cut into the seam when snipping rag strips. They are made for rag quilts.

I would have used sewing machine oil, we usually have it around some where.
