Limited edition print of The Knife Grinder II from the Jobs of Yesteryear Series.

Ever since humans started hunting with sharp things, man has realized the importance of keeping that thing sharp. Through trial and error, many methods developed over the millenia with grindstones becoming the most prevalent. During the Industrial Revolution, knife sharpening reached a much larger scale as factories churned out knives with huge automated systems. These included the sharpeners, who would lay on their stomachs to save their backs and were encouraged to bring their dogs for company and warmth. Nowadays, knife sharpening is much more accessible to the average person, with most kitchens stocking the common blade honing rod.
