Two tools that are often overlooked when it comes to sharpening are the can opener and the chisel, perhaps because they are not used often. I like to use two different sharpening surfaces for these tools.

Because of the small, curved shape of the can opener blade, I like to use a portable sharpener to sharpen it. Just as for sharpening the knife, find the angle of the edge and run the sharpener across the blade in a slicing motion. Clean up the edge with a ceramic stone if one is available.

Due to the shape of the chisel, I like to use a flat sharpening stone to sharpen it. Setting the angle is quite easy, as it has a very deep angle on the tip. Run the stone from the tip of the chisel backward toward the frame of the Swiss Army Knife until you achieve the desired edge. Flip the chisel over and lay the tip so that it is flat on the stone. Rub this side just a few times to remove any burrs from the flat side.

Really take your time when doing this, otherwise you risk rounding off the cutting teeth and ending up with a dull saw blade.
