I use a Lansky on all of our non serrated blades. It has a serrated blade stone, but I hate serrated blades for most things. I use the stones, then strop them when fixing an edge.
The Lansky will get them sharp enough to shave 1/32" along the edge of paper (and your beard) and all I do to keep the edge is use the steel or strop them a bit. Sometimes use the ultra fine stone, but I use the steel often. Kitchen knifes get the steel every time they are used. My EDC and utility knives get it when they feel like they have lost an edge. I also have a folding knife with replaceable blades for things like unpacking the new garden shed and such so I don''t worry about the cardboard, dirt, bands etc.
We used those hook blades for installing vinyl flooring. Awesome sharp.
