What should one look for in an electric knife sharpener? It’s hard to search as there’s so much content farming. I’m UK based. Are they worth it compared to a simple “drag through” thing?
I got a single decent knife: https://wusthof.com/products/wusthof-classic-8-cooks-knife-1040100120 https://wusthof.com/products/wusthof-classic-8-cooks-knife-1...
But I’m worried about ruining it, and the “care instructions” seem to mention using a whetstone.

But you have to let go of the "ruining it" fear. Sharpening a knife does ruin it, you're taking off a tiny amount of material each time. Since your knife is full bolster, you'll eventually notice a small difference in height of the blade at the bolster. Yes you will ruin the knife over decades of sharpening. In the mean time you have a wicked sharp knife that's a joy to use (not just look at). It's a tool not an art piece.
