I have been using a Lansky set on my hunting / fishing knives for decades. If you just use that set on a knife "touch-ups" are very fast. The first time you sharpen with the Lansky you need to use the coarse stones to establish the edge. That can take a while especially with hard steels. Therefore, the Lansky knives I only sharpen with the lansky.

At home I use either a work sharp or paper wheels. Work sharp is fast, paper wheels make a better edge. Best edge is still free hand on stones, but that is pretty slow. I have a few knives that I still free hand.

Bottom line - most people are very impressed with the Lansky edge and touchups are very fast after the initial edge. I pack mine along for hunting and fishing.
