Default HM Shears

My fancy Brion Toss shears have started to have a hard time cutting Vectran. How do I sharpen them?

Hello,
A good scissor sharpening service will be able to do it for you, though they might find that they have to work hard to get any effect on that very tough steel. Here in the shop we use a belt sander, with 16 micron down to 5 micron belts. Yup, that is extraordinarily fine sandpaper, but it puts a wonderful edge on.
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
