I like the America's Home Kitchen Test videos. This one on kitchen shears seem exceptionally informative. Good knowledge for sharpeners.

I bought their best buy, J.A. Henckels take-apart kitchen shears, a few months ago from Amazon. I ordered one pair but got three! The take-apart feature makes them easy to clean and will make them easier to sharpen. Years ago Jeff Farris told me to sharpen only the non-serrated blade of a pair of kitchen shears on the Tormek, and that the serrated blade could be lapped by hand.

My wife ordered a 4 pack of these from Kuhn Rikon for under $30. She got them without the S&H fee shown as part of some special they were running. They are a very good Swiss company so I am interested if they perform as well at home as they did on TV. One pair is slated for the shop another for the kitchen and one as a gift for my daughter.
