I know you can still get it sharp by hand, that's all my dad ever did, but it still is not right.
Search for "DMT Aligner" It's available in a two or three hone set (IIRC, the two hone is coarse and fine, the three hone set adds extra fine) and additional hones are about $15 each for extra coarse or XXfine.
