If you're sharpening for the first time or need something inexpensive, start with a ceramic rod instead of a pull through sharpener that can ruin your edge.

I like Smith's knife sharpeners! They're great for pocket knives, but I don't think it would work well for a fixed-blade. However, this version is limited. Get the Smith's 50364 Pocket Pal X2 Sharpener & Outdoors Tool. It has a light, a whistle and a ferro rod that will produces lots of hot sparks when pulled through the sharpening blades as indicated on the device. It also comes with a compass that's, well, better than nothing I suppose.....

I have the regular Smith's. It's near enough to worthless. Only get this if you can't manage a stone wherever you plan on taking this. It barely gets a blade sharp enough to gut a fish.

1) I'm not very good with sharpening stones.
2) This gadget here is not recommended (is the Lansky Blade Medic better by the way? I've ordered one).
So what should I do then (besides bringing my knife to a professional sharpener, which is a chore)?

Illinois gave good advice. The only thing I'd like to add is that IF you're going to go with a pull through sharpener, the ones that use just ceramic rods instead of carbide bars would be a bit better.
Still use a gentle hand and more passes, rather than more pressure and fewer passes.

BobrazA simple ceramic rod will do wonders if used correctly. Sharpening doesn't have to be expensive and you don't have to run your blades with a pull through.

I'm pretty happy with the recent Fällkniven DC4 sharpening stone drop. But if there were a drop for a Fällkniven Flipstone, *that* would be worthwhile....

Swing and a miss Massdrop. These things destroy knives. If you have a knife enthusiast on the staff... Maybe leave the knife drops to them.

I seem to remember a book by Rachel Carson that discussed this problem. It was called Silent Scream. If knives could speak, they would tell you "Don't throw me in that briar patch."

FixallIf all you need to do is sharpen a throwaway $5 kitchen knife or camp knife these things are fine. It doesn't destroy them, it's not a good edge, but you don't need a good one for basic work.

I see that many are in agreement with me about the wisdom of using a pull-thru. There's a line in a Kinky Friedman song about pull-ahead cafes. And there are crazy drivers guilty of pull-outs.........in front of me. There should be a law against pull-outs. Hmmm. Shotgun shells for hunting chickens- pellets for pullets. But, I digest. There are much better choices for knife sharpening than this. The portable Lansky that was offered recently is way better.
