Scissors for cutting paper have blades with a blunter angle. This allows for clean cutting through the paper while remaining sharp. They are not sharp enough for cutting fabric effectively.

Fabric scissors have blades with no serrations and a very sharp angle. They are sharper than paper scissors. If they are used to cut paper, they will become dull.

All paper products contain minerals that are abrasive and will eventually dull a pair of razor-sharp fabric scissors.

I’ve never had these issues with scissors and other people. Knives now, that’s a different story

Understandable. We also got knives assigned in my family. You can only use some knives and you are not always allowed to sharpen them. These things are important in order to keep the peace.

My wife often praises my mother for having thought me from an early age that using the fabric scissors is a deadly sin.
