Abstract
A sharpening device 1 for knife blades comprising a base plate 2 with a guiding slot 6, designed as an incision in the base plate 2, for a knife blade to be sharpened and sharpening rods 10a, 10b disposed on both sides of the guiding slot 6 to be pivotable against an elastically resilient restoring force, wherein the guiding rods 10a, 10b intersect at a point of intersection 11 in the area of the guiding slot 6. At least one of the two walls of the base plate 2, which are disposed opposite to each other and form the guiding slot 6, thereby forms a knife abutment surface 7a, 7b and at least one magnet 20, 21, 22 is mounted to the base plate 2 in the area of the knife abutment surface 7a, 7b.
Claims9
A sharpening device for knife blades, the device comprising:
- a base plate having a guiding slot structured as an incision in the base plate for a knife blade to be sharpened, wherein the base plate has a first wall and a second wall disposed opposite to said first wall, said first and said second walls defining said guiding slot, at least one of said first and said second walls defining a knife abutment surface;
- means for generating an elastically resilient restoring force;
- sharpening rods cooperating with and pivoting against said means for generating an elastically resilient restoring force, said guiding rods crossing at a point of intersection in an area of said guiding slot;
- and
- at least one magnet, said at least one magnet mounted to said base plate in an area of said knife abutment surface, wherein several magnets are disposed next to each other along said guiding slot, at least in an area of said first wall.
