Affordable and easy to use, the Original Knife & Tool Sharpener is capable of handling most household and outdoor sharpening tasks—from kitchen knives to pocket knives, and scissors to lawnmower blades. This week, Lock, Stock & Barrel heads to the shop to bring you the basics with the Work Sharp Original Knife & Tool Sharpener.
