I guess pretty much any bread knife is a bifl one, but in the twenty odd years i’ve had this, i keep thinking to myself that this knife is awesome basically any time i use it. That’s why i want to recommend it. When I bought it it was quite cheap too, does not seem to be the case anymore. Is a Victorinox 5.2930.26

That should sharpen quite easily. It is towards the softer side of stainless (inox) steels, I very much like them. They are easy to work with, durable, don’t discolor vegetables.

I’ll have that information in mind the next time I try to sharpen the knives. Last time I tried, I think I made the blades even more blunt then it already were.

It takes practice, but isn’t hard to learn. You can do it. I find it very satisfying and relaxing. Using a steel often will mean your knives need to be sharpened less frequently too.
