Dave,
I agree, and most things I cut will allow the blades to cross-hone as you
mention. I checked and none of the scissors I own will allow the
hinge screw to be tightened. Leather takes the edge off of a blade
pretty fast, no matter what. I don't cut chain-ball eyes and stuff
like that at all with my good scissors. I have an old pair of scissors
that the hinge wore out on, but none since I started oiling the hinge.

Don,
One thing that will keep scissors sharp longer is to keep the screw tight
enough to hear a continuous shhhhww as the blades pass each other.
Correct tension allows for self sharpening to a point and proper action which
keeps materials from dulling them when the tension is loose. Learned
this in my office products days from both the Fiskars rep and the Acme
rep. Cutting materials like wire is best done in the very back.
