If not what can I use. I’m 16

My machete came dull so I used the only sharpener I have- the kitchen sharpener. It’s the kind you set on the counter and hold the blade perpendicular while dragging it thru the notch with light to moderate pressure. It did sharpen the blade… a bit. Just wondering if there’s any reason I wouldn’t want to do it this way. Thanks!

I just bought an old vintage stiletto but its dull as hell. I’m wondering how to sharpen it correctly (without screwing up the blade). I have a regular kitchen knife sharpener but don’t know if I should use that. Any ideas?
No its like a long block with like a "V"shaped area to run the blade down.

I’m trying to sharpen my pocket knives (there are two of them) but I can’t find the knife sharpener that came with our kitchen knives. Are there any household objects that work well for sharpening a knife?

I bought this titanium dive knife and it isn’t very sharp and I’d like to get a nice edge on it. Can I use the knife sharpener in my kitchen knife block?

My wife has threatened divorce if I get any more but this is what I have

1 stand mixer
1 blender
1 hand mixer
1 stick blender
2 food processors (big and small)
1 toaster
1 pasta machine
1 crepe maker
1 cotton candy machine
1 crock pot
1 wine chiller
3 juicers (not my fault…..wedding gifts or shower gifts)
1 electric skillet
1 fully automatic ice cream machine
1 freezer bowl ice cream machine
1 microwave
2 refrigerators
1 spice grinder
1 bread machine
1 electric smoker
2 drip coffee makers
1 espresso machine
2 electric perk coffee makers (one huge and one 10 cup)
1 electric knife sharpener
1 waffle iron
1 steamer/rice maker
1 vacuum sealer
1 dish washer
1 electric scale

And, I bet somebody is going to put something on their list that I forgot. Is there anybody out there that has a more ridiculous list than I (and trust me, half of my list is a waste).

I’m wondering if it would upset my parents or be inappropriate.

Sounds lame, I know, but I’ve had a fixed blade ‘survival knife’ for years, that by now has more or less completely lost its edge (its had intermittent light use). Its about 10 inches long and the blade is smooth, but very thick on the blunt side, which importantly makes the angle of the blade (in cross section) very large compared to say, a kitchen knife. The edge is intact but completely blunt, and using a steel has no appreciable effect.
Where can I get an appropriate sharpener?
