A blade sharpener which has two elements, one of which is a hand-held member, and the other of which is a follower member is disclosed. The two members are pivotally secured each to the other, and secured at variable preselected pivot points so that adjustments can be made for the particular skate, and for the particular cross-section of the blade desired at various points along the power toe section, neutral under foot section, and turning heel section. Means are provided interiorly of the two members to optionally secure a file or a neutral member such as a wooden dowel to the end that varying portions of the blade can be sharpened while moving the hand-held member back and forth longitudinal of the blade. Guide means are supplied on both members for securing the relationship of the file or abrading member to the blade in a preselected centralized orientation. The method of the invention contemplates sharpening a blade by longitudinally stroking the same with files having various cross-sections which are guided in fixed relationship to the blade to thereby develop the desired cross-section or cut of the blade at various points along its length.
