I'm looking to get a good, easy to use, knife sharpener for the kitchen.
Something that takes up little space.
Can you don't have to hold to use.
Non powered.
There are so many out there.
Can't make "heads or tails" out of them.

To renew an edge or maintain?
Stronger, Prouder and Greater!
my wife bought a bovarian edge for the kitchen and it works good,i use a ken onion small belt sharpener
A 6” or so hard Arkansas stone lubed with soapy water does a great job. I started getting a good edge with far less effort than with oil. Maintenance between sharpenings is with a Lansky ceramic stick. Very easy and about $25 for everything.

8" Arkansas from a gunshow with a small chip off corner.Made him an offer of 20$ and got it.Glued a pce of 1/4" thick hard'ish black "foam" on bttm to keep it from sliding around on counter.Lives on the counter....and is a joy to use.
We got this one with a block set. I generally don't care for this style, but this one works surprisingly well. https://www.belk.com/p/j.a.-henckels...15C=1342770461
My solution is not as simple, if you want compact and simple --- go with a good stone & hone oil, or Landsky system. If you want an edge that lasts about a year but requires some baggage -- the grizzly sharpening paper wheels and a 8" bench grinder motor (>3400 rpm) will put on an edge!
I have an Arkansas stone, that I use to use, but my wife bought me a Ken Onion belt sharpener, and love it, but it's powered.
I like the warthog system it works for me and is very simple. you do have to hold it. I have given up on my wife even attempting to sharpen a knife.

The Warthog Curve looks good.
A little expensive though.
I have many stones. Even a 3 way diamond sharpener.
Looking for something I can keep in the kitchen for blade touch up.

I use a ceramic rod and A Henkel steel on my kitchen knives. Touch up before cutting and during when needed.
I use a steel or crock sticks to keep an edge and a work sharp to restore one and never cut on stone or glass boards or plates and pans. My wife does so that is the restore part of keeping a knife sharp.

I have a Chantry in the drawer that gets used on occasion. I think my father in law gave it to me. It works well, but I prefer a diamond stone or Arkansas stone.
You can miss fast & you can miss a lot, but only hits count.

Agree, another happy WorkSharp Ken Onion owner
Worksharp. I keep one on my bench. A couple minutes and I’m done. It works especially well on the knife I use for work. It gets hit with it every day.
