Here's the thing about the rada or similar, if you have a 50 buck folder or kitchen knives your wife abuses, once it sets the angle, by pulling it trough and removing metal, it's set. A few swipes by anyone and the knife is fairly sharp immediately. If you are field dressing an elk, it takes a few swipes to reset even it it seems sharp still it isn't and makes a difference, bloody hands and all, 10 seconds and it almost as sharp as if it was steeled.
Constantly changing sharpening gadgets and technique means different angles and removing metal. Pick one and stay with it, but if it's not in your pack in elk canyon and readily usable, meh...
