I just use a tri-stone for my knives at home and for work. You need to learn how to use it properly, but once every month is enough to keep them sharp. After watching the tutorial, there are some good points to the system, like the angle of the blade when sharpening. That is a critical part of sharpening. What I dont like about it, and the way many people use a stone also, is that you are sharpening into the knife, which wears away your blade over time. Kitchens that get their knives sharpened by a service see this impact quickly, but eventually you dont have a knife. Whereas if you sharpen it properly on a stone, it will last long enough for your great-great grandchildren to use. My tri-stone cost me $15.
