I’m trying to learn how to sharpen scissors. I’m using a draw-filing technique. I’m not sure where I’m doing right or wrong. Anyone has any input? It’s a little better than it was but it’s definitely not as sharp as it could be. Gonna try attach some pics.

    Thank you. I meant on the same blade, the angle looked like it could be steeper at one end than at the other. But it seemed odd that it would come like that or wear like that over time? So maybe I was imagining it I’m not sure

      I see what you mean - is it possible that you’re a “back third” cutter? I tend to cut close to the lever end of scissors and will have to touch that section up well before the point end needs any maintenance.
