I have lots of different methods, but usually go the lazy way. I have a Chef's Choice electric sharpener that does a workable job with kitchen knives fairly quickly. I also have a Chef's Choice manual sharpener:
http://www.amazon.com/Diamond-3-Stage-Sharpener-Euro-American-Serrated/dp/B0 03GWPJZK/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top?ie=UTF8 which actually does a very good job on kitchen knives with an Asian angle. The manual sharpener is only good for touch-ups on blades that have not been abused. What Grant said about not abusing knives. Also, use the right tool for the right task. Don't use a good chef's knife as a cleaver. That said; my dishwasher has 3 knife slots which prevent any knocking about, and I do use those for a few inexpensive Fiskar's kitchen knives that fit those slots...but NOT my Shun laminated steel knives nor any with wooden handles. Maintaining the correct angle is important, and I need a sharpening tool that sets that angle properly.
