Those $6 tools with the three grades of sharpening V’s work well enough to make a $25 knife last fairly indefinitely in this particular use case.

Although beware, those pull through sharpeners are notorious for doing a terrible job sharpening knives. They take off far more material than needed and tend to produce an edge that isn't very sharp. YMMV.

The context here is someone who does little cooking and just wants a sharp knife three times a year.
