ABSTRACT:
The present disclosure concerns embodiments of an improved knife sharpener. In particular embodiments, the knife sharpener has an elongated sharpening member, which can be, for example, an abrasive sharpening rod. The sharpening rod can be made of any of various suitable materials, such as ceramic, porcelain, stone, diamond. The sharpening member extends through a sharpening guide, which is movable in both directions along the length of the sharpening member. The sharpening guide defines at least one guide slot for receiving a knife blade to be sharpened. The guide slot is configured to position a facet of the knife blade in sliding contact with the sharpening member and at a predetermined angle with respect to the sharpening member.
