If you need to sharpen up a small blade or metal tool, a few swipes on an emery boad will do in a pinch. Sometimes the simplest hacks are also the most effective.
If you find yourself needing to sharpen up a small blade like an X-acto knife or tools like tweezers, follow the suggestion from One Good Thing by Jillee and pull the item a few times in the same direction across an emery board. Obviously, you’d get better results with a sharpening stone (or a fresh tool), but if you just don’t have them around, this works pretty well. Emery boards are also great for shaping up the point on pencils.
