How to Sharpen Micra Scissors

Micra scissors are small scissors that come in the Micra Leatherman Tool-set. These small scissors can be used to cut string, fishing line, fabric, etc. To ensure that these small scissors work properly, they need to be sharpened at least once a year. Sharpening the little scissors is just the same as sharpening larger scissors, except that you 'll need a smaller sharpening stone. Once the blades are sharpened, they will work like they're brand new.

Instructions

- 1
  Open the scissors so the blades are separated. Hold the scissors in your dominant hand. The first blade that you're going to start sharpening should be pointing downward.
- 2
  Hold onto the sharpening stone in your non-dominant hand. Sharpening stones of every size can be purchased from a home improvement or hardware store.
- 3
  Slide the stone down the length of the blade from the pivot to the point (the pivot being where the two blades intersect; the point being the tip of the blade). Do this several times. Always count how many times you slide the stone down the blade to ensure they other blade gets the same amount.
- 4
  Flip the scissors around so you can begin sharpening the other blade. Again, make sure that the second blade is pointing downward. Repeat Step 3 with the second blade, using the same amount of stokes.
- 5
  Open and close the scissors quickly. The open/close motion will knock off any burrs from the blades.
