It'll be a huge step up from his manual one even if it cuts exactly as it was.

Your welcome. You can get the job done with oil stones, yet it’s a bit more messy, and finding big enough honing stones isn’t easy.
I spent over a decade shopping around for stones and such, yet once I got my first amazon order from Japan I was on my way to ninja, lol.
One instructor sharpens a knife with a concrete block, then cardboard and newspaper sharp enough to shave his face. Yet it took a long time, and didn’t look like a comfortable shave, lol.
I put red rubber bands on the kitchen knives after sharpening them cause I find it hard to resist scary razor sharp, and if your not paying attention you’ll get close to bone before you notice your cut.
On a side note, don’t forget to sharpen those fish hooks.
