I've spent an afternoon sharpening a set of OLD HICKOREY kitchen knives
I feel it did a good job

good enough for me to be told not to sharpen my in-laws knives
they could be dangerous if they are too sharp

That's crazy, a dull knife is a dangerous knife. A sharp knife will move and behave as expected.

That's what I was taught as a kid too.

This. Sharp knives are safer, because there is less need to force the blade into the material, and there is usually more "respect" for the blade when you know it is very sharp.
