Wife is saying that the scissors are duller now than before sharpening. She has been searching for a good hair scissor sharpener, and stated that they are hard to find. She also said that the kitchen knife is razor sharp!
Hi Robert.
Adjusting scissor 'tension' via the center screw after sharpening them is always a bit difficult.
Like "Goldilocks and the Three Bears", getting the center screw tightened 'perfectly' to an individual's hand strength is a matter of 'too loose', 'too tight' & 'just right'.
If you were to use the same scissor yourself, you could oddly find the scissor working just fine for you.
Regardless, you could try tightening/loosening the center screw yourself, if you wish, to improve your wife's results, hopefully.
But feel free to return the scissor (helpfully with the previous ticket # 92251) to the store & tell me to tight/loosen the center screw for you.
It's also possible for older scissors that the threads of the center screw are somewhat 'stripped' from regular usage over time.
In this case, I can 'adjust' the tension once more, but the tension won't 'hold' because of the previous thread damage.
This is rare but 1 in 20 I'm afraid.
Contact me via Douglas@GreaterHoustonSharpening.com as you wish but please mention #92251/LGH.
Thanks for taking the time here to let me know what you think about GHS.
