I have used stones, the Lansky system, steels, and a few others during my life; nothing works as good for me as the Worksharp. My only complaint it that I seem to lose my point on the blade, but that is minor considering I can put an edge on that takes no time, and it the same every time when the operator it paying attention.
Pocket knives, kitchen knives, hunting blades....they all go through and come out better than I can produce other ways.
