Abstract: A cutting tool includes a first and a second element having a handle in a first end and a cutting element in a second end. A spring element is arranged between the first and second element to move the handles away from each other, and an adjustment mechanism sets a maximum opening angle for the handles. The adjustment mechanism includes a groove in a side surface of the first element, an adjustment ring is arranged to a side surface of the second element, and a shaft which is rotatably arranged to protrude through a hole in the second element, a first end of the shaft engaging the engagement surface of the adjustment ring and a second end of the shaft having an eccentric part protruding into the groove in the first element.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sharpener for sharpening a cutting tool, such as a knife, the sharpener comprising a body part (1), a rotatable sharpening roll (2) resting on the body part, and a first guide groove (11) above the sharpening roll for receiving a first tool blade and for guiding it in relation to the sharpening roll (2). To allow the sharpener to be made structurally simple and well applicable for sharpening both narrow and wide blades, the sharpener comprises a second guide groove (14), which is wider than the first guide groove (11), to be arranged above the sharpening roll (2) to allow a second tool blade to be received and guided in relation to the sharpening roll (2).
