There is a reason so many Lansky type sharpeners are sold, they turn the average guy into a pro with very little practice.

I was the guy that ended up sharpening those knives, then I retired and moved away, and at least one guy is now paying a commercial business to sharpen his knife. It isn't that hard with the right tools, but some people can't be bothered to learn.
