Patent ID: 8656596

Claim:
A cutting device comprising: a body; a blade element having a cutting edge and being rotatably mounted with respect to the body; a sharpening tool configured to be coupled to the body, the sharpening tool being selectively movable between a first position in which the sharpening tool is spaced from the blade element and a second position in which the sharpening tool contacts the blade element at or adjacent the cutting edge, the sharpening tool sharpening the cutting edge when in the second position and the blade element is rotated; an actuator selectively movable to position the sharpening tool in at least one of the first and second positions; an interface member configured to be coupled to the body, the interface member including an interface flange positioned proximate at least a portion of the cutting edge of the blade element and spaced therefrom when the interface member is coupled to the body; and a biasing member coupling the interface member to the actuator and configured to permit selective movement of the actuator with respect to the interface member to position the sharpening tool in the second position, and to return the sharpening tool to the first position when the actuator is released.
