I'm looking for a better knife sharpener for my hard steel chef knife. I think whetstones are the way to go, but most of the sets I see are 4 double sided stones. Do I need that many stones?

Is there a totally different type of sharpener that you have had success with?

Edit: I should add that I like my knife very sharp, and I have a few tiny chips in the cutting edge from a cheap drag-through sharpener.

Also check out ProjectFarm. He did a few videos on sharpeners and comparing their performance and in relation to their prices.

I ended up getting the $20 starter stone outdoor55 recommended, it's doing exactly what he said it would, which is great!

I got it too. I'm not getting the results he does, but certainly sharper than the crappy sharpening tools I had in the kitchen before.
