It can be found in Underground Cabins in the Underground Jungle. On the , it can also be purchased from the Merchant for during Hardmode.
== Notes ==
* The armor penetration bonus also applies to damage done by summoned minions, but only while the user is holding a melee weapon. It also applies to projectiles fired from magic and ranged weapons, however, it only applies to the projectiles when the user is holding a melee weapon after having shot the projectiles already making it not suitable for practical use.
* Unlike the Crystal Ball, the buff structure for mages, the Sharpening Station cannot be used for crafting. This may mean those with a use for items crafted with a Crystal Ball will need to purchase both a Sharpening Station and Crystal Ball (despite potentially not needing the buff it grants), unless one is found in an Underground Cabin.
== Trivia ==
* In real life, sharpening stations, also known as s, are used to sharpen blades.
