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?

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-international-knife-sharpener/0400614401109.html?cm_mmc=CSE-Shopzilla-Home%20+%20Kitchen%20+%20Cutlery%20+%20Knife%20Sha rpeners-0400614401109&szredirectid=15430597429881215500210080302008005&CA_6C15C=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’m with Chad and WisTom, Once you try the Ken onion, you never look back. I have one and it’s so easy to get a super sharp edge.

If you’re wanting non powered I’ve used plain stones and the Lansky kits with varying degrees of success.

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.:p

I use the 5 inch Ultimate Edge fine (600) grit diamond steel for my touch-ups.

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.

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.
