The Coolest Pieces of Gear We Tested This Week

There’s nothing worse than a dull blade when it comes time to get some work done. And if you’ve never invested in a high-end sharpener to keep all of your knives and tools cutting at their peak performance, then you need to seriously consider looking into a Work Sharp Knife & Tool Sharpener Mk.2. This sharpener is by far the easiest, most accurate, and most portable sharpener we’ve ever tried with our blades. From pocket knives, to kitchen knives, to axes, shears, scissors, and all other bladed tools, this sharpener keeps our gear working precisely as it was intended. You can even sharpen your lawn mower blades, shovels, and every type of garden tool.

It has high and low settings so you can toggle between more control and more muscle, and the angle guide can be adjusted between 20- and 25-degrees for precise, easily duplicated bevels on any blade. This thing is legit. If you have tools that rely on a sharp edge, then this sharpener should be in your garage. Trust us, you’ll use it more than you think.—Jon Perino, senior editor
