For easy of use the Lansky rates right up their and does a nice job without taking to much steel! Wet diamond stones for free handing are another good option for one who is used to hand honing. Really depends on your previous sharpening skills.

If you want something that is easy and takes the guess work out of sharpening(yet does a nice job) I would suggest a lansky set. They come in all variations but the set with coarse, med-coarse, med & fine is good one. I would suggest buying a fine diamond stone to finish the edge or use a leather strap. Also a bench mount can be purchased for like 10 bucks and many friends who aren' t sharpening guru' s swear by it.

Yes I have and use a lansky, but mostly free hand with a diamond wet stone. The lansky is great to take to camp and everybody can use to get an edge on!!!

Good Luck!
