1. An apparatus for sharpening a cutting implement held in a vertical plane comprising:
a base; a first clamping member extending above the base and having a first vertical inside surface substantially parallel to a vertical plane of the cutting implement, a first top portion, and a first bottom portion; a second clamping member extending above the base and having a second vertical inside surface substantially parallel to the vertical plane and facing the first vertical inside surface, a second top portion opposite the first top portion, and a second bottom portion opposite the first bottom portion, wherein the first clamping member and the second clamping member are adjustable to releasably secure a cutting implement between the first vertical inside surface and the second vertical inside surface; at least one guide rod having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the proximal end is pivotably attached to the base at a distance between the proximal end and the vertical plane, wherein the distal end extends above the base, and wherein the at least one guide rod defines a first angle with the vertical plane; and an abrasive implement holder configured to slidably move along the at least one guide rod and comprising:
a body having a holder aperture therethrough, wherein the holder aperture extends along a guide rod axis and is sized and configured to receive the at least one guide rod;an adjustable face plate pivotably connected to the body and defining a second angle with the guide rod axis, wherein pivoting the adjustable face plate changes the second angle. |
