wet stone and leather strap for me.
Lansky or gatco sharpeners are both easy and effective.
A good steel is a must for touching up any knife IMO
Some like the belt ones they sell Stay sharp or something I saw was selling at cabelas for 100 bucks. A friend has a commercial version it does a nice job but he has to change the belts which to me seems kinda time consuming when I can just hone and lathe or steel. Each his own though
