I honestly dont really know how to sharpen a knife.

Get a whetstone or sharpening stone. Spit on it or oil it, your choice. The liquid is to float the metal and stone dust free so it doesn't clog the pores of the stone. Hold the knife at about a 20 degree angle and try to take a slice off the stone. Then try to take a slice off in the opposite direction. Try to slice with as much of the blade as you can with each pass. The big secret is to keep the angle of the blade the same for each pass. Rinse the stone off when you are done.

Price will depend on size of stone and grit. Fine Stone -- fine edge - takes a while if the blade is really dull -- coarse stone -- sharpens fast but not as nice an edge.

:cool:
