Adjustable abrasive sharpener

An adjustable sharpener comprising

• a frame having a sharpening slot,
• a pair of pivotally mounted arms having an abrasive element being mounted in said sharpening slot to form a generally V-shaped sharpening angle with respect to each other,
• at least one of said pivotally mounted arms being moveable with respect to the other of said pair of pivotally mounted arms to adjust said sharpening angle,
• a rod operatively mounted for rotatable movement about an axis and being connected to said at least one of said pivotally arm assemblies to cause pivotal movement of said at one of said arm assemblies upon rotation of said rod to adjust said sharpening angle,
• said rod being mounted on said frame for movement along said axis of rotation from a first position to a second position, and
• said rod being locked against rotation in said first position and being capable of being rotated in said second position.

An adjustable sharpener comprising

• a frame having an open sharpening slot,
• a pair of abrasive elements being mounted in said slot to form a generally V- shaped sharpening angle in said slot, at least one of said abrasive elements being mounted for pivotal movement,
• a rotatable rod being mounted on said frame, and
• a connecting rack assembly being mounted for axial movement on said frame and being connected between said rod and said at least one of said abrasive elements whereby rotation of said rod effects axial movement of said rack assembly to cause pivotal movement of said at least one of said abrasive elements with respect to the other of said abrasive elements to adjust said sharpening angle form by said pair of abrasive elements.
