Don... don’t strighten em. most scissors have a slight curve on them to ensure the two cutting edges meet. Generally this is true. Longer scissors have a two angle cutting angle Give me a call and take a look at Cowtown’s scissor collection. maybe even use my scissor sharpening jig (liberated from a really old Manitoba fabric shop! But do not straighten! you will regret it. They will not cut beyond the first few inches if you do. Regards Eric |

Can't cut any worse than they do right now, which is not at all. Wait for the pics.
