Description

Skyline Knife Sharpener. The knife sharpener has a wooden handles and eight round wheels. To sharpen your knife, you just need to place the sharp edge in between the set of wheels (which you need to make sure are moving, if not just put a bit of oil). Pushing the knife downwards like cutting bread, move it along the wheels several times until it becomes sharp. 
The handle is red wood and has a yellow stipe 1 and 1/4 inches from the end. The handle also has a hole for hanging the sharpener. There is a bracket at the sharpening end so that the sharpener lays flat on the surface. There are four horizontal, parallel lines on each side of the wheels (top) and on the metal on each side of the wheels are three lines that are parallel (horizontal) and the curve to vertical lines.
