An 19th century style note explains sharpening a screwdriver to minimize wear on screws. It argues the best blade form has straight wedge sides with concave outward curves for grip and control. Use a small grinding stone, fitted to a lathe, to shape and maintain the edge for efficient turning and reduced slippage.

New Granite Sawing Method Shocks Philadelphia Convention
The Building News reports Messrs. Struthers & Sons demonstrated a patented granite sawing process using finely divided chilled iron instead of sand. A jet of steam propels melted iron into spray, forming hard granules that cut granite at 3–4 inches per hour, with far less waste and a far smoother surface ready for polishing.
