Blade has a Micro-serrated edge which does not require sharpening....HTH
 
Funny this topic came up.... I was just wondering how to sharpen mine. Fresh salsa was always easy and now it takes forever and the scissors just bend the pepper hardly cutting it. I use to love them now not so much...
 
If they do not cut the way you want them to, send them back & HO will send you another pair...
 
Ginger - you are the best -

ok - back to the firepit and pool - this site is addicting!
 
I read a quick tip somewhere (not sure where), but if you have scissors (not necessarily PC) that are getting a little dull, cut through some aluminum foil a bunch of times and it will make them sharper.
 
I've returned my salad choppers once because the red holder thingy wouldn't stay out of the way, so I couldn't chop all the way through. SO annoying! The blades sure are ugly, though. You would never know I've only had them a few months. They are the best for making the salsa and so many other things.
 
Does anyone remember when these came out? Did we earn them during a sell a thon? I would like to return my also, the salsa is taking forever now.

I have sent back 4 so far because of the red thing. 2 were my own & 2 were costumers but they love them so much that they put rubber bands around it to keep it out of the way! I have sold over 100 of them & so far they have been the only complaint...lol my last complaint, I had an extra one in my house & had to lend her mine till hers came back...;)
