Kathy, I couldn't find the brand on it. The bottom reads: www.usasharpeners.com and it says Patent Pending. I bought it about 5 years ago. I like that is has a backup sharpener that is stored on the bottom and it sharpens both 45mm and 60mm blades. You simply put the sharpening stone that is on the end of the small handle in different holes to accommodate different sized blades. It works beautifully.
