Work Sharp will join the 2026 Grand Safety Tour beginning June 13-14 at Bass Pro Shops in Niles, Ohio.

Work Sharp products will be featured at both Shoot Like A Girl and Safe LivinG events throughout the nationwide tour.
“Outdoor skills have traditionally been passed down from one generation to the next, but not everyone grows up with someone to teach them. That’s what makes Shoot Like A Girl so impactful. They create a welcoming environment where people can build confidence in shooting, hunting, and the outdoors,” said Josh Warren, Director of Marketing for Work Sharp. “Work Sharp is proud to partner with SLG2 to bring knife sharpening education and services to these events. A sharp knife is one of the most valuable tools a person can carry, and learning to maintain it fosters self-reliance, confidence, and a deeper connection to outdoor traditions.”
