Its been a few months since I sharpened my kitchen knives.
They usually only need a touch up. Ill do a few strokes on the 400, 1000, and do a few more strokes on the 3000.
These stones are cheap ones I found online and the 8000 actually feels more aggressive than the 1000 so I usually dont use it.
After the 1000 grit I will strop it a few times on a strop I made from offcuts and some thick vegtan with green compound.

Go with the Benchmade Guided Field Sharpener. It's dead simple (important to overcome the "It's fine if I don't sharpen my knife this time" feeling) and super compact, so it can easily fit in a drawer. I got one a year ago and never looked back.
