I have seen a video of someone sharpening a bread knife - looked like they were just using a round file (probably specialised for the job).
It looked like a right faff & not very enjoyable. Given it's a once in a decade occurrence, I'd probably just pay a shop to do it. -
I use (or rather, have used - not like they blunt often) the Stihl chain sharpener from my chainsaw. Basically a round file in a guide.

I have an accusharp that I used for all my knives, it works wonders on bread knives. You are welcome to try it out.

Since the talk here has recently turned to sharpening and (a bit) to bread knives: how on Earth does one sharpen one?
I have a Lakeland Damascus bread knife that could cut 2mm slices from a soft loaf when I bought it a decade ago. Now it is just a bread knife shaped object, like any other Air B'n'B resident.
I am happy sharpening chef's knives with stones or a Lanksy, but what am I supposed to do with a scalloped blade?
