I now sharpen with a 3 stone diamond system and a diamond steel. My Solingen blades are very hard and keep an edge forever. I do find that a cheap blade is easy to get very sharp, even though the edge doesn't last.

I'm saying when the inexpensive knives get out of shape dispose of them and buy new ones.
I have German blades too and an excellent Edge Pro sharpening system so I know where you are coming from.
