    Rolit Knife Grinder

    Well here's an interesting tool. When I first found it in Dad's Workshop I wasn't sure what it was. Once I opened it up, I realized it was a knife sharpener. Very unique design.

    Nothing too exciting or valuable but a fun piece of tool history. And it still works.

    I do not believe that mine is this old however here is an ad from Popular Mechanics July 1949.

      That's funny..glad it brought back some memories. Sometimes for me the value of an item isn't monetary. Its a great design and still works good.
