I ended up with the main chunk of an early scary sharp from someone on here (can't recall who but thanks) and built a couple of stone holders for it. Works bloody well, best sharpener I've used for my style and use.
Worst thing I've found for knives is wives and dishwashers, instant blunteners both. I'm going to get tricky one day, and make up a guided device to hold a 5" angle grinder with a sanding disc on it so I can thin blades like what was mentioned in the OP's post. Take the rounded section back down to a convex shape and go from there - will be much easier to sharpen if you have a knife that has worn fat and a lot easier than trying to freehold it!
