lately i have been using a razor edge system with some pretty good results. i had played with the lansky ones and hated it... it feels all backwards. the razor edge is spendy. but the guide helps me out a ton. so far 15 mins on about every sub 8 inch i own and its pretty sharp, and it does re bevel. then i normaly go and strop it for a few mins to make sure the burrs are broken off and polish up the blade. a little oil and shes back and ready to go.

the other way is with a bench grinder. i have to be a lot more on my game to use it, but its fast if i can hold her steady. rebevel, reshape you name it. but i have to keep practicing on it.

i dont know why i strop really. but every thing looks cleaner after i do and it seams to keep the edge nice and polished which for some reason keeps the rust and gunk a little down on the cutting edge also feels smoother and sharper.
