Lansky is greatish, but not exactly fast.

Basically a fancy version of a Lansky. I think those are often called "fixed angle sharpeners". They work well.
If it is already sharp, the strop or steel. If it is mostly sharp, then the honing stone and strop.

If it isn't sharp then it is time to stream a few shows and sharpen.

It's slightly rounded, but I can shave arm hairs with them when I finish. I usually do course (325), fine (1000-1200), and then strop. The stropping really makes a difference.
Free hand mine also. Usually wet sand with the fine.

I cant stand taking the time to pull out gear to sharpen knives. for me, when I discover a knife is dull, it is usually me standing at the kitchen counter staring at a pile of veg that needs to be chopped. so out comes a DMT hand thing.

if I have time, maybe. I usually sharpen my Japanese fish knife afterwards, wipe it lovingly with a silk diaper, coat it with a molecules thickness of oil and put it away in a fur line, hermetically sealed box.

not that I dont have other knives I could use in a pinch..but once I chose one, I am usually committed.
