Abstract: A saw chain holder with a bar mounted sharpener for sharpening a chain includes a base plate and a cover plate removably attachable to the base plate. The base plate has a first base side surface, an opposite second base side surface, a groove extending into the first base side surface, and a base recess extending into the second base side surface. The cover plate has a first cover side surface and an opposite second cover side surface. The cover plate is movable into an assembled state in which the first cover side surface abuts the first base side surface, the chain is movable along the groove between the base plate and the cover plate, and the bar mounted sharpener is mounted in the base recess, bears against the second cover side surface, and is positioned over the groove.
