Apparatus and method for shaping a cutting tool ( 100) so as to have enhanced cutting performance. In some embodiments, a tool sharpener (900) is provided having a rigid body (902) with a slot (912) extending therein. A knurl roller (180) is disposed within an internal cavity within the rigid body and mounted for rotation about a selected axis (194) adjacent the slot to facilitate a cold forging operation upon a cutting edge (106) of the cutting tool via insertion of the cutting edge into the slot and retraction of the cutting tool across the knurl roller. An abrasive member (904) is affixed to the housing to facilitate a sharpening operation upon the cutting edge by advancement of the cutting edge there across. |
