Brilio.net - Blunt scissors are difficult to use to cut something. The cut results are also not neat, and sometimes can even damage the object being cut. Many people end up buying new scissors because they don't know how to sharpen them again.
In fact, there is a simple way to sharpen the blades of scissors to make them sharp again. A netizen on the TikTok account @betris.bawuna.kreatif, quoted by brilio.net on Saturday (8/20), shared an easy trick to sharpen scissors with just one simple tool that is definitely available at home.

In his upload, he explained that the only tool needed is a gas lighter. Many people might not think that a gas lighter can be used to sharpen scissors. However, this trick has been tried and proven effective in restoring the sharpness of scissors.
The first step, heat the scissor blades using the flame from a gas lighter for a few seconds. After that, open the scissor blades to the maximum so that the sharpening process is easier to do. Then, rub the scissor blades against the gas lighter wheel repeatedly.
If you want to get more optimal results, make sure the swiping motion is done with enough pressure. After several swipes, try checking the sharpness of the scissors by cutting used paper or plastic. If the results are still not sharp enough, repeat this sharpening process several times until the scissors are really sharp again.

If you have scissors that are no longer sharp, this method can be a practical solution before deciding to buy new ones.
