I have personally sharpened a HookGuard with a sharpmaker and even though I had to move the clamp to get both the recurve and front parts it worked well and is newbie proof. All you need is the cheapest 2 stone version. The local CO-OP here in Prince Albert has them so you can probably find them in Alberta. If you really have trouble you can send it to me and I will put an edge on for you but you should probably learn to do it yourself. If you get a Lansky or Sharpmaker you will probably find yourself sharpening all the knives in your house. I also found a cheap set of 6$ loupes(magnifying glass) from lee valley tools really helps sharpening. "if you want to be a hero you have to learn to drive stick"! Sara Conner
