Good question. Isn't there some special stuff you can cut with them which sharpens them?

Get new ones?

Tighten the screw?

I've heard that you can fold a piece of fine 320 sandpaper in half, sand outwards, and cut acros it several times. If that doesn't work, send them away to be sharpened.

Might try the sandpaper- I bought new ones as old ones were blunt, but still have them. Will report how I get on!

Tried the sandpaper on old pinking shears but didn’t seem to make a difference. Just thought I’d report!
