I had used an oil stone, (Arkansas stone), for years, until my steadiness and grip "gave out", recently and then I bought a "Firestone" electric sharpener.
Single slot, opposing wheels, hollow ground edge, when done. Since using it, I've found out what a "real razor's edge" truly is, on all the knives I own... from kitchen to fillet blades. Never have been able to "stone sharpen" a knife as SHARP as the Firestone can make an edge.
