Abstract
An apparatus for maintaining culinary knifes, the apparatus having a handle assembly formed of a handle portion and a knife guide. An elongated tubular burnishing member is connected to the bottom end of the knife guide portion. A rubber friction tip is inserted into the bottom end of the tubular burnishing member. An elongated honing member is also coupled to the bottom end of the handle assembly and mounted in the interior of the tubular burnishing member. The burnishing member therefore performs a second function, that of being a protective sheath for the honing member.
