Spyderco's Tri-Angle sharpener. Like any V-stick type sharpener it is very easy to use, and this one has a configuration for sharpening either scissors or straight razor blades -- adds up to a narrower edge bevel. Two grits, finest maybe 1200 grit. Produces a comfortable dry shaving edge; at that point your knife is ready to go to work.

Its method is multistep, first employing the more aggressive corners of the triangular-section coarser sticks, then switching to their flats, which gets your edge about good enough to cut paper cleanly. Then go to the corners of the fine sticks, finishing also with their flat faces. About as sharp as ever you'd need.

Use V-stick sharpeners with guards in place. Never tell yourself "I'll be careful." You bleed.
