Sharpen a Gut Hook?

Hi all,
My general stalking knife is a Buck with Gut hook, my question is how do I sharpen the gut hook. I use a Lansky sharpening kit for the blade, any ideas welcomed, it's gutted proably 100+ in the last 3-4 years from new and now feels it is needing sharpened.

Thanks

a round sharpening steel from the kitchen works, I have a buck vanguard with gut hook i use for skinning and sharpen mine on this.
 
+1 :thumb: On the chainsaw file. It'll do a grand job & cheap as chips aswell £3-5 depending on the quality.

Atb, Buck.
 
Ditto to the diamond Buck sharpener. I have used one of these for years for my gut hooks and serrated blades.:thumb:
 
Thanks to all, round file with fine paper sounds the option, as I have them both at hand.
