Another vote for the Lansky setup with the diamond stones. Buy the separate base. Makes life easier. I've had good luck with these.
I'll hit my knives with the Lansky stones every once in awhile. Which reminds me my dad currently has my set. When I've just beat the crap out of the blade I'll use the Lifesharp program that Benchmade offers. The last time I sent in my old 722 they called me up to suggest a new blade. Its was only 10 years old and I wasn't nice to it.
I don't have the steady hand to freehand any blade with a stone.
