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.

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.
