A sharpening apparatus for sharpening blades of tools and other implements such as spatulas and grill scrapers. The sharpening apparatus includes a base member on which a sharpening stone is positioned. A slidable blade guide member is slidably connected to the base member. The slidable blade guide member includes a guide surface that is disposed at an angle relative to the upper surface of the sharpening stone, and a mounting mechanism for removably mounting a spatula against the guide surface such that the scraping edge of the spatula is in engagement with the sharpening stone. The slidable blade guide member is manually slidable back and forth to sharpen the scraping edge of the spatula. A fixed blade guide member is also attached to the base member. The fixed blade guide member includes a horizontal slot that is adapted to receive the shaft of a grill scraper and that is adapted to provide guided back and forth sliding movement of the grill scraper within the slot and in engagement with the sharpening member to sharpen the scraping edge of the grill scraper.
