Dull Kitchen Shears (Old Style)

In summary, kitchen shears can become dull over time and with frequent use, and improper cleaning and maintenance can also contribute to dullness. It is possible to sharpen them, but it is important to use the correct tools and techniques. The frequency of sharpening will depend on usage and it is recommended to sharpen every 3-6 months. To prevent dullness, clean after each use, avoid cutting hard or frozen foods, and store properly. Specific cleaning instructions include washing with warm soapy water and avoiding harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Does anyone know a good way to sharpen the old style white kitchen shears?



I'm calling a potential booking/recruit lead tonight, and she had asked me this question last time we chatted - I'd really love to be able to give her the answer tonight when we talk!
 
They are self sharpening. Hers are probably loose and therefore not sharpening themselves anymore. She has to tap the bolt (not the right word, but I can't think of the word I'm looking for) that holds the blades together so it's tighter.Okay, I am not describing this well at all....hope you can understand what I'm tryign to say! LOL!!
 
You can fold up aluminum foil and cut through it several times to add a little oomph to the self-sharpening.
