Knives, getting them sharp like a razor blade

In article ,
says...

Going boating, regs or no regs every sane boater brings a good knife.
In fact I don't remember seeing knive in our regs, but it is a good
practice. Expecially if you have to cut others line out of the prop.

Maybe even 2 or 3. Me, I have one on my belt and another in the tackle
box as a minimum. Usually a couple more at the fish cleaning station.
Need to cut rope or a fish, or fishing line, only a quick reach away.

But keeping them shape. Same problem in the home. Real pain in the
crack. What experiences work best to get these things sharp enough to
shave with? Not gimick solutions, I mean get knives real professionally
sharp but do it at home or the cottage. What methods are people using?

The one tool folks seem to forget when sharpening is "patience" it takes
hours to put a proper edge on a knife. We had a retired Merchant Marine
who worked at our club. I paid him an extra wage every week and he came
in on Sunday, had a few drinks, and sharpened all the knives at the
bar.. Spent the whole afternoon, but it was well worth it during the
week..
