ike characters of reference designate like parts in all the figures.

In carrying out the object stated, the improved holder comprises two elongated and similarly shaped portions 6 and 7 which meet each other on a plane and are adapted to coact in gripping and holding the blades to be sharpened. The blade-holding end of-each of the portions 6 and 7 is widened as shown, so that two blades 8 of the .width commonly used may be clamped between them at the same time.
