The Tormek T-2 Pro Kitchen Knife Sharpener can make all your kitchen knives sharper than new in no time. But did you know that the SC-60 Scissors Jig allows you to also sharpen virtually any pair of scissors you might find? The jig is designed to give controlled, consistent results on your kitchen scissors, quick and easy. This guide walks you through setup, technique, and practical considerations so chefs and kitchen staff can restore clean, precise scissor edges with minimal effort.
Why the SC-60 Scissors Jig?
Unlike freehand sharpening, the SC-60 Scissors Jig holds the scissor blade at a fixed angle and stabilizes the sharpening process. On the Tormek T-2, which is already designed and engineered for professional kitchen environments, this gives you:
-
Repeatable edge geometry
-
Minimal steel removal
-
Clean, sharp results
-
Always sharp scissors, without them ever leaving the kitchen.
Step 1 – Prepare the Scissors
-
Remove the angle guide for knife sharpening.
-
Mount the base plate of the SC-60 Scissors Jig on the arm where the angle guide for knives usually sits.
-
Set the angle to 60° by matching the curve on the back of the clamp to the periphery of the grinding wheel and the angled side of the clamp to the base plate, or,
-
Repeat the existing angle with the Tormek marker method: mount the scissor blade in the clamp. Color the bevel with the EM-15 Edge Marker and place the clamp on the base plate with the bevel resting on the grinding wheel. Turn the grinding wheel by hand and check where on the bevel the color is rubbed off. Adjust the base plate until the color disappears over the entire width of the bevel. The angle is now correct and it’s time to start sharpening!
TIP: Results matter more than chasing a specific number – match the existing bevel unless the scissors are extremely worn.
Step 2 – Mount the SC-60 Scissors Jig and Set the Angle
