Ditto on the WorkSharp. I got mine two years ago at the PNW Sportsman's Show in Portland. The best feature is the ability to sharpen scissors. My wife loves that! Plus, it works great on serrated knives.

Hankster - If you're looking for the best knife sharpener on the market, check out the Wicked Edge sharpener system. Do a Google search on 'Wicked Edge'.

This is a "money is no object" sharpener. The Wicked Edge will get knives samurai sharp. There is no sharpener that will get knives any sharper, or an edge that lasts as long. I own one, and it's beyond belief. For getting an edge on straight-edge knives, there is nothing better. But it can't do scissors, and it cant' do serrated knives, and it's really expensive. So for the average hunter and angler, the WorkSharp is the best value.
