<sigh> Okay.... I'll do it for you and get it out of the way.
There.
Alright, here is where I tell you what can be done with a Lansky (or Gatco, i presume) system , and everyone reading rolls their eyes and says, "Yeah, right."
I had a Swiss Army knife, the small blade of which would shave peelings off the side of a human hair.
I once sharpened the filleting knives belonging to a boss of mine, for his annual fishing trip with a surgeon fishing buddy. They came back with stitches in the bosses hand, and the surgeon's comment was that those knives were sharper than the scalpels he used in surgery.
I took a cooking class with a couple of friends back in my bachelor days. "Cooking for You or Two" I sharpened the teacher's Chicago knives for her, and returned them before class one night. She used one to show us a technique for dicing onions. Looked down to see her long red fake fingernails laying on the cutting board. She hadn't felt them get cut off.
No brag, just fact.
I don't know of a better system for knife sharpening, and you won't go wrong with it. A feel for steel, some patience, and a Lansky, and you will amaze yourself.
Don't forget to finish up with a good stropping on clean leather.
I agree about the Lansky stones wearing too fast. I hope to get a Gatco diamond set one day....
