Does anyone know where you can get dissection scissors sharpened? Or do you just chuck them and get new ones?
Thanks.

Chuck and new. I asked the same question last year and it would cost more to sharpen them than to buy new ones.

Re: Dissection scissors
someone else on here suggested cutting steel wool with them sharpens them or else alfoil folded over several times instead. I haven't tried it yet but I'm planning to someday!

Well, it does depend on just how blunt they become, but yes, cutting scaps of steel wool will extend the sharp life.

Ok, I've tried the foil trick, I'll see if it has made any improvement. Thanks for all the replies
