Craftsman 0.7 Amp Wet/Dry Utility Sharpener

The Knife’s Best Friend (and the Bench Grinder’s Sophisticated Cousin)

Are your kitchen knives currently more effective as spoons? Is your favorite wood chisel looking a bit "well-loved"? Enter the Craftsman Utility Sharpener.

Unlike those high-speed grinders that shoot sparks like a Fourth of July finale and turn your expensive steel blue from heat, this slow-and-steady legend takes its time. At 170 RPM, it’s basically the "slow-cooker" of the tool world—delivering a perfect, surgical edge without the drama.

It features a reversible motor (because sometimes you just want to go the other way) and a wet/dry option for that professional "scary sharp" finish. It’s heavy enough to stay put and quiet enough that you won't wake the neighbors. Perfect for knives, chisels, and the ego of anyone who likes to say, "Yeah, I sharpened that myself."
