I just go old school...

This is my dad's old stone that I found while working around his place.

Lanksy's work great, but are pain to setup and use. I like the old fashioned stone like above. I gave up on making knives super sharp. My plastic flex cutting boards just dull the blade in no time...

I use a belt sander to make the edge if it's really dulled, a two sided stone to hone the edge, a hard Arkansas to polish it and a high quality steel to touch it up until it needs to be honed up again. I can go for months on a commonly used kitchen knife with just the steel unless someone cuts apples on the granite counter or slices a roast on the platter or ... yes this sh!t does happen.
