My Dad gave the grinder to me when I moved to my first house in 1985. The tool originally belonged to Grandfather. Dad remembers using the grinder in his basement when he was 11 years old (1946) to sharpen his pocket knife. The grinder was old even then. When Dad was barefoot, he would get an electric shock when he plugged in the grinder.
