I managed to snag this one from my adoptive mom’s kitchen when she passed a few years ago. It’s the best knife I’ve ever had. It has a really nice weight to the handle. When I got it, it could slice through anything like a hot knife through butter. Her dad always carried a sharpening stone in his pocket and I know he kept it sharp for her. I take good care of it but it’s gotten dull.

I’ll give you a heart any damn time I feel like it! Lol.
I'm sure the kids at Ace that sharpen lawn mower blades would do a wonderful job on your favorite kitchen knives.
Do you keep it in a wooden block?
Budget a couple hundred bucks for some good knives. One chef's knife and one paring knife. Maybe a boning knife also, depending on price.

No. It came with its own protective case. I always hand wash it as well as my favorite paring knife which has a case also. I would never use a boning knife. I basically only use those two knives.
Buy this,
Deluxe Lansky Sharpening System
and this,

and learn how to use them.
And watch your fingers afterwards.

I have one of those stick things. Do they work well?
Is the stick thing steel or ceramic? Are the knives stainless or carbon steel?

You put the blade in either side one is for fine sharpening the other course
Then you draw the knife towards you
Doesn’t take but a few passes

I think the stick is ceramic. I have no idea what the knives are made of. I’m guessing stainless.
I do have these for a quick touch-up, but still do a serious sharpening every now and then.

Never pumped gas
After many years of tying flies and building fly rods, and more years of building golf clubs, assembling a high quality kitchen knife intrigues me.
Where did you find the blank and directions for building?
Seriously.
