2 hrs confidence:
knife guide Explanation: Could it possibly be an attachment used for grinding/sharpening knives? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-10-27 10:48:32 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Of course, \'Messer\' could stand for any other kind of cutting blade, but these need accurate guidance when grinding, too. |
