Yeah, what Grouse said. I use a double sided (fine/med), mini diamond sharpener that folds up conveniently like a balisong. Got it on Amazon, I think, long ago.

For heavy sharpening I use a slow wheel with very fine grit.

Never used the sticks, but have used the Lansky sharpening system. I used to sharpen all the guy's hunting knives at deer camp. I've had good results with the system. I need a stone for the serrated blades.

I have a lansky system also. superb product would highly recommend it for anyone who wants to really take care of their blades.

Like i said i can hold the angle now. takes me 30 min or so to re angle a small pocket knife. an hour or so to do a med, two or more to do a large hard steel pocket knife. Kukri sized half day. A zen moment thing for me.
