A hand-held tungsten carbide knife sharpener, with a finger guard, can be used for sharpening plain and serrated edges on pocket knives and multi-tools.. Sharpening is the process of creating or refining a blade, the edge joining two non-coplanar faces into a converging apex, thereby creating an edge of appropriate shape on a tool or implement designed for cutting.
Sharpened metal drop-point blade Naturally occurring sharp obsidian piece Shark tooth with a sharp, serrated edge A sewing needle comes to a sharp point. Sharpness refers to the ability of a blade, point, or cutting implement to cut through materials with minimal force, and can more specifically be defined as the capacity of a surface to initiate the cut.

Knife sharpening is the process of making a knife or similar tool sharp by grinding against a hard, rough surface, typically a stone, [1] or a flexible surface with hard particles, such as sandpaper. Additionally, a leather razor strop , or strop, is often used to straighten and polish an edge.
Instead of covering up the screw head that it serves as an aesthetic part of the design. Ten different recess sizes are available for the Mortorq. The smallest of these, the PMT-000 can be used with screws that have a head diameter as small as 2.5 mm. While the largest called PMT-7 can be used on screws with a head diameter of 35 mm. [35]
The main distinction among loppers is between bypass and anvil types. Bypass loppers operate like scissors, except that they generally only have one blade that moves past a jaw or hook that has an approximately square edge that is not typically sharpened and is usually concave or hook shaped in order keep branches from slipping out of the jaws.
In mechanical engineering, the thread angle of a screw is the included angle between the thread flanks, measured in a plane containing the thread axis. [1] This is a defining factor for the shape of a screw thread. Standard values include:
A grindstone, also known as grinding stone, is a sharpening stone used for grinding or sharpening ferrous tools, used since ancient times. Tools are sharpened by the stone's abrasive qualities that remove material from the tool through friction in order to create a fine edge.
Benching is done in a dark room with a stretcher-roller machine and flat anvil. A single light at the benchman’s work station, along with ground gauges, allows the saw filer to measure level and tension. Leveling is done with a crossface hammer and stretcher-roller adjustments. Cross face hammers are available in left and right hand versions.
