The invention relates to hand tools of knife sharpening, especially for sharpening of kitchen knifes, namely relates to angle guides for knife sharpening. This angle guide has a removably attachable body that is put on a sharpening rod through a hole going through the body, which has the ability to move back and forth on the rod. The body has guiding cutouts for the blade of a knife that allow to maintain the desired angle against the sharpening rod during the sharpening procedure. At least one pair of cutouts with inclined narrowing cavities are formed in the body on its opposing sides in opposing directions, which allows to alternate between the sides of the blade during the sharpening process and in this way much less burr is produced.

A cartridge razor sharpening device is provided. The sharpening device is configured to sharpen blades of cartridge razors, allowing for extended life and use. The device may operate to either slide over the blades to sharpen the blade edge, or may allow the blades to slidably move on the cartridge over the sharpening device. In some embodiments, a blade adjustment mechanism may be utilized to adjust a position of the blades after sharpening.

A knife sharpener for the manual sharpening of knives that includes a knife clamp, a honing bar extending in a first direction, an upright support, a base, and a sleeve that is configured to receive a knife having a blade. The knife clamp is configured such that the sleeve is selectively mated within the knife clamp to fixedly secure the knife blade therein along a second direction when the knife clamp is closed.

Method and apparatus for sharpening a cutting edge of a cutting tool, such as a kitchen knife. A fixture secures opposing sides of a blade of the cutting tool and includes a main body and hinged first and second clamping jaws each having a clamping end adapted to compressingly engage a respective side of the blade. A guide coupled to the main body has converging support surfaces to contactingly engage a back edge (spine) of the blade opposite the cutting edge to center the blade along a central plane of the fixture. A retraction mechanism establishes a clamping force upon each of the respective sides of the blade via the clamping jaws. Further embodiments include a base assembly adapted to receive the fixture, and a swing arm style abrasive assembly to carry out a sharpening operation upon the cutting edge.
