I'm a hunter, Phil, and I don't use one of the motorized sharpeners. I use a handheld one where you drag the blade vertically over a ceramic V shaped sharpener. All it takes is about 5 swipes and the blade is like brand new. Hope this helps!
Best bet is to ask at the knife counter
Good one to pick
Best to ask an associate or Google a review
