What to use to sharpen knives

[noway]

Best thing out there to sharpen knives is your local custom knife maker.
I finally admitted to myself that I can't sharpen a knife for %$#$ and it was not worth the effort.

I bought a super sharp Spyderco ($80.) with a super hard metal and it does not need sharpening until the season is over. Cleaned two elk and a deer with it last year with no sharpening required.

Then after hunting season is over I take it to the local custom knife maker and he sharpens it to like new for $8.00.

I agree with the other guys, Lansky's are great.
they have several sets out there, anywhere from 3-5 stones, in either real stone or diamond stones.

There is another thing my dad uses, but it takes practice.
it's a set of "wheels" for use on an electric bench grinder motor.
they are of two different types of cloth treated with jewelers rouge.
works fantastic but it take practice to do it right and sadly i just have not been able to get the hang of using them very well.
