Smith's Sharpening Stone

A sharpening stone from Smith's, for putting a working edge back on knives and other cutting tools.

Stones cut slower than powered systems, which is exactly why people keep reaching for them. You control the angle, you control the pressure, and you can feel the burr form as the edge comes back. A few minutes at the kitchen counter or on a tailgate brings a dull blade back to useful before it gets bad enough to need a full regrind.
