English term or phrase: the clicker (knife sharpening)
В текста става дума за заточване на ножове. Терминът кликер се използва в контекста както следва

* Hold _the clicker_ by the edge or handle in a safe position away from the blade of your knife.
* 1. Place the heel of the knife blade into _the clicker_ guide bars , holding the knife upright with the cutting edge of the blade resting on the bars .

Разбирам че става дума за някакъв тип на заточваща машина, но не мога да намери българското съответствие.

Explanation:
The very term "clicker" goes back centuries to the sound made in cutting out leather for boots. A very good explanation is found in "Dictionary of leather-working tools, c.1700-1959 by R.A.Salaman"

Simply, any knife used to cut out PATTERNS in leather.

A long flat blade was used for longer cuts. As it was sharpened, a hook developed above the point and would do intricate cuts. The newer, flat blades where used for longer cuts.

Many, now use SURGICAL BLADES, which you may have seen. They would appear to be a pencil handle with a straight blade, that can be stropped for longevity, and are relatively inexpensive. By raising the handle, only the thin point is used for intricate cuts in thin leather, by lowering the handle the long length of the blade leads to straight cuts or gentle curves

neutral  Denis Shepelev: Прочетете внимателно контекста. Там ясно пише, че clicker е вид точило, в което се поставя нож (knife). Изобщо не става дума за нож за рязане на кожа.
