The knife sharpener comprises a handle, a head having two slots in which sharpening devices are mounted, a protective flange between the handle and head, and detent-engaging recess at the extreme outer ends of the handle and head. The storage and mounting bracket comprises a base plate, screw holes for attaching the bracket to a supporting object, upwardly projecting slightly flexible members at opposite ends of the base plate, and a detent on each upwardly projecting member for releasable engagement with an associated detent-engaging recess on the knife sharpener.
