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.

      Ya. Water stones, imo, demand quality.

      However, you can get a hunting knife razor sharp using that crappy little grey stone that came with it, and some spit.

      Waaay nicer using quality though.
