Paul, you have a highly informative site. It's a Tamiya cutter that I've been using for 3 years. It just needs a touch up.

Well I guess it all depends.  What sprue cutter.  If it's a Tamiya that just needs a touch up, sure.  Although, if you want to learn, it doesn't really matter.  Look here ...

Worth Sharpening Sprue Cutter?
Posted by Chrisk-k on Saturday, May 2, 2015 12:04 PM

I wonder if it's worth sharpening a sprue cutter.  If the answer is Yes, what kind of sharpening stone do you recommend?  Most sharpening tools seem too big for sprue cutter blades.
