Buy a whetstone and sharpen yourself.

Daiso or Donki probably sells those household crap.

DIY with whetstones

I usually start with 400-grit and end with 1000-grit. You can go higher 2000, 3000 if you want a really shiny edge. Use only Jap whetstone not the chinese made ones.

400# to 1000# etc are good guidelines only. Can vary depending on steel hardness (you can do a search for the Rockwell hardness chart) and the current condition of your knife's cutting edge. Hard steel is tougher to sharpen but they hold an edge better and longer.

It's an interesting and rewarding undertaking. Especially when your sharpened knife can slice through thin paper with ease. It takes patience to do a good job at it.

That's an excellent article. Use course to finer grit. In addition, pay attention to the angle as your sharpen, as described in https://www.knivesandtools.com/en/ct/find-the-correct-sharpening-angle-in-three-steps.htm
