Ive always had great luck with the Lansky sharpeners. They hold the blade in a clamp, and keep the stones at a constant angle while you sharpen.
Once you get the edge set, touch ups are fast and easy. Work on most knives, and they will shave the hair off your arm every time.
I also use one of the pocket type sharpeners for touching up my hard use work knife. I have two types, one with diamond rods, the other with carbide and ceramic blades. The diamond sharpener works better, and faster. Its also easier on the blade. The carbide type removes a lot of metal with each pull through.
These type work OK if you really dont care about the knife, and arent looking for a super sharp knife. Just from seeing how people deal with or treat their knives and what they consider "sharp", there can be a pretty big difference in opinion as to what is what.
