Looks identical to the Lansky system only it comes with 6 stones and it's about $35 on Amazon.

You should check out the Wicked Edge Precision Sharpener. I don't have one, but really want one. They are pretty pricey, but from what I've seen, nothing can touch this thing for the ease with which it puts a crazy sharp edge on blades of all shapes and sizes.

I like a good Smith's Arkansas stone, medium well oiled. It will put an edge on even the hardest blades pretty quickly. I have used one for over 30 years and have never been let down.

I must have at least a Bakers Dozen of those Arkansas Stones but I just don't have the time to take, in order to sharpen a dozen or so of my knives, let alon the wifes kitchen knives.

Now this "Work Sharp" product is super quick and very very easy to use, once more it is faster than a jackrabbit. The cost is cheap when you consider your time spent trying to put an edge on a knive. I even sharpen my Bowie Knives on this Work Sharpener and they come out with a very good edge.

For my pocket knives and hunting knives I either use the Lansky System or The Arkansas Stones, depending on how much time I want to spend. For the Kitchen knives I use the Lansky System initially and a Henckels Steel to touch them up. You'd be surprised at how long you can go between sharpenings with a quick touch up on the Steel.
