to hone mine(it has deep teeth), i find the angle with a steel using the tooth-slopes as a guide and gently drag it back and forth a few times on each tooth until i reach the end. After that, on a shallow angle, i slide the flat side of the blade along the steel.
The edge should be sharp if not too much force was put into the honing process...otherwise you will just bend it back where it was initially.
as for sharpening ,i would either use a round (not oval) diamond steel and do the same process...Gently as the diamond abrasives will eat your blade. Otherwise send it in to sharpen professionally ....should not cost more than a few bucks. (i prefer hand methods over machine).
