Best sharpener out there.  Expensive, but gets knives sharp in a matter of minutes.  Love this thing.

When it gets dull I throw it out and buy a new knife.


No I use a cremaic stone thing that works great.

diamond and leather strap

Same here.  Switched to this knife a few years ago though and havent used the others since. Its sharp enough to circumsize a nat!  Its called the piranta edge. A lot of taxidermists use it

I have a Smith Table top Tri-Hone, Lansky Deluxe Sharpening System, Lansky Turnbox Crock Stix and a Illinois Razor Strop.  Once a knife is sharpened I can usually maintain a shaving edge with the crock stix and razor strop.  When truely dull I use the Lansky system and the tri-hone is for large or long knives.
