  • Question
    How do I sharpen kitchen scissors with a honing rod?

    Top Answerer
    Kitchen shears shouldn't need honing, since they should never be in touch with a surface harder than a chicken bone. However, they may need sharpening from time to time. See How to Sharpen Scissors for several ways to do this.

  • Question
    What is the slot below the top ragged blade used for on a kitchen scissors?
    Michele
    Top Answerer
    The curved slot you see is a bottle opener. Not used much these days with the advent of the twist-off cap, but still handy just in case.

  • Question
    How do I remove rust from my kitchen scissors?
    Community Answer
    If you see rust on your scissors, this indicates that they are not actually kitchen scissors and you should not be using them with food. Kitchen scissors are usually made from stainless steel with corrosion resistance properties.
