I got one that looked a like the Chef's Choice, but the stones were barely appropriate for a hatchet – coarse and with little angle control. Returned it. Most manual sharpeners I've seen were okay, but be aware that different knives have different angles so you might need more than one.
I prefer finding a professional sharpener and taking my worst knives to him every year or two. They are surprisingly inexpensive but might not give as-you-wait service. One good place for as-you-wait is a knife and gun show, and you can watch him work.

You should absolutely not use a honing rod or pull through/electric sharpener with Japanese knives. Get a set of whetstones

Honing rods are not designed to remove material, sharpening steels are. He's holding a sharpening steel. It has a rough surface to remove the burr, whereas a honing rod is smooth and straightens the burr.

Any self respecting person would never use these awful sharpening suggestions. Use a whet stone.
2. Those honing rods are awful as they remove way too much material on the knife edge. Use a leather strop.
3. Americas test kitchen is usually very good. This not so much.

Then you're dragging the blades alone the spine of the blade, not the edge, and won't dull the knives.

Surely this is a joke right? Wow that's something else and not in a good way either, not to mention the overly large misplaced logo at the bottom. So, gotta ask, this is product placement right?
