Why not get a 2 sided stone and do it yourself? One side a little coarser than the other to use to knock down any burs or take out any nicks and the other, smoother side to put the edge on it.
It really isn't rocket science. You just have to hold a consistent angle on the blade when honing it on the stone.
You'll probably pay less for the stone than it would cost to sharpen the knives if you have several that need work.

Get one of these and sit down at your coffee table with a glass of whiskey and turn on Netflix.

Buy a worksharp knife sharpener and an extra set of belts. You will get a hell of a sharp blade using the process.

this can be a slow boat to china if the blade is in bad shape. Nice to have a few series of grits to bring one back to life.
I don't mind paying someone who has a full powered setup to get my knives back in shape when the ceramic sticks or sharpening steel isn't effective anymore. Which is a pretty dang long time for me.

That's what they make different grits of sandpaper for. Get the nicks and dings out of the blade with the sandpaper and then go to the stone.
I have 3 stones from 600 to 3000 and have a barber's strop with the Irish Linen on one side and the smooth leather on the other.
When I'm done hitting the leather side, I can easily shave with the blade.

There’s a guy on the way to Chauvin on la24 that sharpens knives.

This is the best bet for easy, DIY knife sharpening. There's no real learning curve, and it comes with multiple grits and a leather strop. It has diamond stones that can take off a lot of material quickly to take care of knicks and dings. I use it for knives that don't need a whole lot of work. For everything else I have a Tormek.
You can get it cheaper at Academy than online.
