This unassuming 1969 revised edition of “How to Sharpen (A Craftsman Handbook)” offers a glimpse into the golden age of American craftsmanship. Published at a time when skilled trades were still widely practiced and revered, this handbook served as an indispensable resource for woodworkers, metalworkers, and artisans of all stripes. Despite its well-worn cover, bearing the telltale signs of frequent use and a light mug stain (perhaps from a craftsman’s coffee break), the interior pages remain crisp and legible, a testament to the enduring quality of the content within. While the author remains unknown, the practical wisdom contained in these pages was likely distilled from generations of skilled tradesmen, each contributing their hard-won knowledge to the art of sharpening tools – a fundamental skill that underpins countless crafts. For collectors of vintage trade literature or enthusiasts of traditional craftsmanship, this unassuming volume offers a tangible link to a bygone era when quality workmanship was prized above all else.
