Rada Quick sharp and a cheap hone
Yes we all know about people who obsessively talk about knife care and sharpening, but for the average person, just use this to get your knife sharp and get on with your life.
I have a set of small, palm sized stones I picked out of a local river. Nearly as good as my japanese whetstone progression set. :-) I seriously use the more, and my kitchen knives I can shave with. Feels so.... manly :-)
Or you could just get a quick sharp and get on with life/cooking
