What part of the scissors is this blade called?

I want to use my sharpener to sharpen these very blunt scissors. I can only do one side using the kitchen scissors sharpener but I don’t know what the other side is called and so I don’t know which blade sharpener to use. Ironically, it’s that side that is the most blunt so it makes the scissors difficult to use.

Can anybody tell me what the partially serrated edge could be categorised as?

the options are:
30° anvil for Phone kitchen knife or pen knife
45° anvil for kitchen knives, boning knife, pruning scissors, loppers
50° anvil for meat cleaver
23° bypass for prune scissors, loppers, bread knives
35° bypass for fine scissors, grass shears
65° bypass for coarse scissors, hedge trimmers

I'm not sure about your scissors, but for serrated knives I use one of these https://lanskyuk.shop/lansky-folding-diamond-tapered-rod/ For ordinary knives that need more than a couple of swipes with a steel you need https://lanskyuk.shop/lansky-natural-arkansas-sharpening-system/ To keep them sharp cut onto a wooden board rather than metal and never put them in the dishwasher, the spray erodes the edge.
