: All tools must be kept sharp to continue to be effective... something I'm
: coming to realize is that I really don't know how to sharpen anything
: properly

My shop apron has 2 pockets at belt height where I keep my trusty Pro-prep "side arms". They work great, but dull fast when scaping rock (a.k.a. cured epoxy). I have a Grizzley wet/dry grinder that lets me achieve a honed edge on 3 surfaces in about 30 seconds. This tool is not near the caliber of my friend's Makita wet grinder. However, my cutting tools have never been so consistently sharp since I purchased the Grizzley.
