Resian knife grinders could also use a push system to transport the sharpening machinery. This is why you can notice a general slight increase in the dimensions of the whole structure and the addition of two wooden wheels with a 100 cm diameter and wooden handles for lifting and moving the tool.

The circular frame of the wheels was reinforced with an iron rim that prevented the wood from wearing out. In both versions of this machinery the upper surface, which began under the abrasive grinder, was tilted forward  , so that the water keeping it wet could drain away.

This machinery, which was activated by the same transmission system as described above, had a working surface formed by a small board the same size as the machinery and tilted forward.

The board, where a small anvy was also placed   to beat the pivot of the scissors into shape again, created an empty space that hosted the abrasive grinder and supported the worker’s hands.

The knife grinder was the predominant job among men and boys, who at the age of 10-12 already emigrated with their fathers. The knife grinders went from home to home asking for the objects in need of sharpening. They all created their specific itineraries, and their clients waited for them at every passage.

 When they collected scissors, they used a ring   and inserted them in it in an orderly way. The knife grinders always kept a pair of scissors in the ring, as it served as a marker for the position of all the other pairs.

They couldn’t make any mistakes that would compromise the restitution order. To avoid mixing up the scissors, they started by sharpening the pairs they had collected last, and so on until the first. After grinding and sharpening the blade with the whetstone   (a stone used for sharpening) and other cutting tools, they proceeded to give the object back and ask for the payment.
