Well guys you can see it might work, think about the paper seperating
and sliding out slightly when cut. That'll be moving out slightly along
the face of the edge removing material, should work although only
sharpening one side until flipping unless the very edge surface of the
other side of the paper is enough to do it. Seems like it'd be marginal
vs just using a can opener sharpener unless you just keep fine sandpaper
with the scissors to keep them topped off. With little pressure
elsewhere it doesn't seem like it'd remove much except just at the edge,
you'd still need to sharpen in a different manner once in a while.
Generally mine are pretty far gone before I even think to sharpen
them, I'd be cutting sandpaper for hours I think.
