Abstract:
A sharpening device for sharpening operative instrumentation having a gripping handle and an acutely angled receptacle support , both of which form a radiated palmer contour , and both of which have flattened self balancing table rest terminations. The hone receptacle has an attached offset rectilinear container or whet-stone receptacle with guard walls that extend above a contained whet-stone. The instrument entry channel is a shorter wall that allows full usage of the whet-stone surface without forcibly influencing sharpening angulations due to an excessively high wall. The offset receptacle support and whet-stone receptacle create two overhangs or a vertical locking rest and a horizontal locking rest that engage with a table. The locking rests coupled with the angled handle receptacle support and resultant palmer contour permit two ergonomic holding positions that allow for both vertical and horizontal honing orientations.
