The best knife sharpener is the Edge Eater. You can buy one on Ebay for 14 bucks. Sharpens with a slightly coarse edge that cuts so effectively. You can sharpen a knife with the Edge Eater in about 45 seconds.

The grit size on that says axe, hatchet, maul, shovel; not knife.

If you take the time it takes, it takes less time.
