I figured this was as good of place as any to ask this. Since all good cooks start with a good sharp knife.

Now I' ll be honest, I really suck at sharpening knives, all I seem to do is make them duller no matter what I try[X(]. I saw some electric sharpeners in bass pro and cabelas. I' ve forgotten the names of them right now, but I think they run about $75-$100 bucks.
Has anyone tried these out? Or have any other suggestions. I' m wanting one that an idiot can operate and get a razor sharp blade. Do they make a miracle sharpener out there? I would like to not go much over this price range also.
Thanks for any suggestions you can give me.
