Well, if you don't have time or don't want to learn about knife sharpening my advice is to get a cheap pull through sharpener for your kitchen knives. They're super easy to use and will add years to the usefulness of your knives. It doesn't work as well as doing a full sharpening, but it will get them cutting well again at least!

Are these the ones with the angled V shaped thingy? I have one where you put the knife through three different coarseness levels and it works good enough for me. I'm sure I'd fuck the blade up with real ones.

Yes that is it! They work great for any standard kitchen knife, but you wouldn't want to use them on any kind of fancy blades with a special grind angle or anything

They usually look something like this:

Yes! It's almost exactly like that. I only use it to sharpen a couple of "nicer" kitchen knives I use for cooking, we don't even bother with butter knives or other ones, and the cooking ones are decent (German) but nothing crazy either.

Those sharpeners fuck your knives up after a while. https://youtu.be/0uy5NrLEZ4g so don’t use them on expensive knives.
