Those of you who caught the Mythbusters “pirate special” last week on Discovery may have — as we did — risen a little out of your chair when you saw Tory “sharpening” a kife with an angle grinder.  The result was, well, not promising.  What they really needed was a workstation like this one from Burke.

Rarely — if ever! — is actual grinding required to put an edge back on something that was once sharp.  Even creating an initial edge can often be accomplished by simply using a coarse grit on a paper wheel.  Burke’s unit gives you everything you need: an abrasive paper wheel, a leather wheel, and a buffing wheel.
