    spyderco sharpmaker,it'll turn a butter knife, into a razor blade in no time!.plus it has two sets of angles, one for hunting/pocket knives and one for kitchen knives. it'll sharpen just about anything(straight edge, serrated edge, fish hooks, darts)

    about 50.00 on amazon, with a storage case/rod holder, 2 sets of triangle rods(two course, and two fine), and a dvd to show you how to use it

    the next thing you'll buy are the ultra fine rods, they are about 25.00 each, then your friends will ask you to sharpen their knives!

    Depends, what kind of knives are you trying to sharpen?

    I'm a fan of convexing on sandpaper then stropping on a belt to finish, but some knives require other methods

    You can also look at the Lansky kit. I have had one for 25 years and it will put the right edge on for the knife. It has 3 or 4 angle settings for each type of knife blade.
