Scary sharp

Scary sharp is a method of sharpening woodworking tools with sandpaper instead of conventional methods of oilstone or waterstone sharpening. The sandpaper is glued to plate glass or another hard, flat substrate to create the sharpening surface.

A sharpening method using sandpaper was passed down through apprenticeship woodworking programs as early as the 1950s - 1960s.[citation needed] Some[who?] believe that it pre-dates World War II.
