Affûteuse à lame en fer forgé peinte en vert. Elle présente un système complexe de cinq roues crantées actionnées par une manivelle légèrement coudée avec manche en bois tourné mouluré. Les roues et la manivelle font tourner une pierre noire bombée qui sert à affûter le métal. Une petite structure maintenue par un ressort permettait de maintenir les lames à travailler. Une petite poignée en bois est fixée à proximité de la pierre, et semble servir à doser la force sur la lame.
