Abstract
A blade sharpener having a magazine slidably carried within a sleeve. The magazine contains two sets of three sharpening wheels carried for rotation within the magazine, which are positioned in a staggered relationship with respect to one another, such that each set of three sharpening wheels forms two sharpening interfaces. Two channels are defined in the magazine and are generally in alignment with each of the two sharpening interfaces. The magazine is movable with respect to the sleeve, and may be selectively fixed in at least three positions relative thereto with a spring-biased pushbutton. For storage or transport, the magazine is moved into the sleeve such that both sets of the sharpening wheels are housed within the sleeve. The magazine of the blade sharpener is also provided with an elongated sharpening rod which is pivotally connected to the magazine, and which is used to sharpen serrated blades.
