>>1914207I make knives, I have a knife collection and I used all sorts of tools to sharpen them.
I can fully recommend you the victorinox dual sharpener for every day use.
It has a hard stone for grinding and a ceramic notch to take off burrs.
I glued a piece of leather to it's sheath for an even finer edge, gets your knives razor sharp.
Contrary to popular belief, you don't need to show your knife the stone every time it gets dull, use a butcher's steel instead. You can go half a year without grinding that way.
This illustrates the point:

You will be amazed once you get to the point where you developed the muscle memory to sharpen knives in minutes like it's nothing.
