Abstract: An apparatus for use in sharpening a skate blade includes a handle and a cartridge connected to one end of the handle. The cartridge includes a casing and a sharpening blade. The sharpening blade has an arcuate cutting edge with a radius of curvature which corresponds to a radius of hollow of a skate blade to be sharpened. The casing at least partially defines a slot which has a thickness which corresponds to a thickness of the skate blade to be sharpened. The arcuate cutting edge on the sharpening blade extends across the bottom of the slot.

Abstract: A hunting weapon holder includes a base which is connectable with a suitable support, such as a trunk of a tree, by a strap. A support assembly has an inner end portion which is pivotally connected with the base and an outer end portion which is spaced from the trunk of the tree. A weapon hanger is connected with the outer end portion of the support assembly. The support assembly includes a plurality of sections which are disposed in a telescopic relationship with each other. An inner one of the sections is pivotally connected with the base for pivotal movement about an axis which extends parallel to the tree trunk. An outer end portion of an outer one of the sections is pivotal about a second axis which extends parallel to the axis about which the inner section is pivotal.
