Abstract
A knife sharpening system for sharpening blade edges of knives. The knife sharpening system includes a base portion having an elongate guide rail having a top surface at a first level, a knife support for maintaining a blade of a knife being sharpened with its blade edge spaced apart by a horizontal distance from the guide rail and for elevating the blade on a plane at a second level which is higher than the top surface of the guide rail. A sharpening implement that is longer than the distance between the guide rail and the blade edge is provided, and placed on the blade's edge and the guide rail, and is moved thereacross to sharpen the knife edge.
Claims13
A knife sharpening system for sharpening blade edges of knives, comprising:
- a base portion having an elongated guide rail, a top surface at a first level, a knife support means for maintaining a blade of a knife being sharpened with its blade edge spaced apart by a horizontal distance from the guide rail and for elevating the blade on a plane at a second level which is higher than the top surface of the guide rail and a handle support for engaging a handle of the knife;
- and a sharpening implement which contacts and is guided on the guide rail for movement relative to the blade and which is longer than the distance between the guide rail and the blade edge.
A sharpening system for sharpening blade edges of knives comprising:
- a base portion having two elongate guide rails, each with a top surface at a first level, a knife support means for maintaining a blade of the knife being sharpened with its blade edge spaced apart by a horizontal distance from the guide rail and for elevating the blade on a plane at a second level which is higher than the top surface of the guide rail, and wherein the knife support means will support the knife in two, flipped over orientations;
- and a sharpening implement which contacts and is guided on the guide rail for movement relative to the blade and which is longer than the distance between the guide rail and the blade edge.
A knife sharpening system for sharpening blade edges of knives, comprising a base portion having an elongated guide rail with a top surface at a first level, wherein the guide rail is curved to match a curved knife which the knife sharpening system is used to sharpen, a knife support means for maintaining a blade of the knife being sharpened with its blade edge spaced apart by a horizontal distance from the guide rail and for elevating the blade on a plane at a second level which is higher than the top surface of the guide rail;
- and a sharpening implement which contacts and is guided on the guide rail for movement relative to the blade and which is longer than the distance between the guide rail and the blade edge.
A knife sharpening system for sharpening blade edges of knives, comprising:
- at least one knife having a predetermined handle and blade size, shape, and blade edge angle;
- a base portion having an elongate guide rail having a top surface at a first level, a knife support means for maintaining a blade of the knife being sharpened with its blade edge spaced apart by a horizontal distance from the guide rail and for elevating the blade on a plane at a second level which is higher than the top surface of the guide rail and a handle support for engaging a handle of the knife;
- and a sharpening implement which contacts and is guided on the guide rail for movement relative to the blade and which is longer than the distance between the guide rail and the blade edge.
