ABSTRACT:
A cassette for holding, storing and, when desired, sharpening knives having an elongated body member having an opening at one end and defining a hollow space therein for receiving at least one knife blade which is inserted through the opening; tungsten carbide elements for sharpening an edge of the knife blade located within the hollow space; and post and wall members for guiding the knife blade into the hollow space of the body member comprising a pair of spaced elongated members attached to the body member for lateral guidance of the blade in a manner so as to align the blade edge at a predetermined orientation with respect to the sharpening elements so that, when desired, the edge may be sharpened thereby by engagement therewith, wherein the dimensions of the opening and hollow space are larger than the width of the blade such that the blade may be inserted into and removed from the body member without contacting the sharpening elements by the user exerting a force on the blade in a direction away from the sharpening means, and further wherein the blade may be inserted into or removed from the body member in engagement with the sharpening elements, if desired, by the user exerting a force on the blade in a direction toward the sharpening elements for sharpening of the edge, wherein the amount of force exerted by the user on the blade when the edge is engaged with the sharpening elements can be varied to provide the desired degree of sharpness to the edge. Also, multiple cassettes and knives therefore.
