I've used stones in the past, but I'm just not consistent enough to be able to always get the blade perfect that way. I use the Lansky sharpening system, and get my blades shave sharp everytime. The nice thing about the Lasky is that the thing gives you a consistent angle which I find to be the hardest part about using a stone.

I'd like to get the diamond kit to speed things up a bit. I have Benchmade knives in ATS-34 and D2 tool steel with a RC of 59-61. It takes forever to get anywhere with the fine on blades that hard.
