TOOL FOR THE MANUAL GRINDING AND SHARPENING OF CUTTING IMPLEMENTS

The invention relates to an utensil for manually sharpening and setting cutting tools comprising a body (1) defining a handle (2) and head (3) equipped with seats (4a, 4b) for supporting respective hard metal plates (5a, 5b) arranged on top of one another with respective crossed flat edges which can be accessed through a notch (10). A pressure exerted on said crossed flat edges by a cutting tool to be sharpened makes the plates (5a, 5b) pivot in opposing directions around respective first lugs (6a, 6b) inserted into first holes (8a, 8b) in the plates against the thrust from elastic elements (12a, 12b), while second elongated holes (9a, 9b) in the plates slide along second lugs (7a, 7b). The utensil is multipurpose and includes a coupling (14) for coupling different accessories such as a sharpening assembly (15), a can opener, and a peeler. The handle (2) houses a drawer (28) for other complements.
