Ive got the Lansky system
RELIGION IS LIKE A PENIS
Its fine to have one,
Its fine to be proud of it,
But please dont whip it out in public and start waving it around,
And PLEASE dont try to force it down my children's throats.
An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.
I have a electric one like this http://www.cabelas.com/product/Hunti...3Bcat104560380 for every day use and I love it. I do have stones for back up, but since I got this I don't use them at all.

I just got a Smiths model very similar to the Lansky diamond system. I also use a small Gerber handheld piece for touching up smaller thin blades.
I just bought a "puck" to sharpen my scythe, hoes, & ax's.
Six King water stones plus two Nagura stones. Mainly for my woodworking tools. Along with various slips for my carving tools.
About a dozen 10" tungsten/ceramic elements from 1000 watt high pressure sodium outdoor lights. Very nice for long curved blades.
Also have a Razor Sharp System. It's very fast and can make edges unbelievable sharp. But very hard to hold at correct angles.
Last but not least I use either my 12"x9"x2" Grade A Granite block or a piece of 1/4" float glass. I use both with 1200 to 2000 grit paper. My water stones have just about been retired when I started using the paper.
I've been doing serious sharpening for many years. Woodworking tools require a very sharp, but durable edge. I have a small bench, just devoted to sharpening.

I just got it and havent had a chance to try it yet. My stepdad has an old craftsman round stone and it worked great for that type stuff. This one reminded me of it.
