Work Sharp Micro Sharpener & Tool

Work Sharp is a prominent American brand specializing in sharpening tools for knives and outdoor equipment. The brand originated from Darex, a family-owned company based in Ashland, Oregon, which has been in the sharpening business since 1973. While the engineering and design concepts originate from their headquarters in the United States, many of their compact and consumer-grade manual tools, like the Micro Sharpener, are manufactured in China to maintain competitive pricing for the global market.

Today, Work Sharp is recognized for its innovation in both manual and power sharpening systems. The brand remains under the ultimate ownership of Darex, LLC, a private US-based company that prides itself on local design and engineering despite utilizing global supply chains for certain product lines.
