The one thing to watch with the diamond stones is that they can take a lot of blade material off if you're not careful. Get the finest grade of diamond you can, as it will give you a better edge and remove less of the blade.

Personally, I like the ceramic knife sharpening kits, like the Spyderco knife sharpening set, which uses two sets of ceramic rods to sharpen knives. They work on both serrated and non-serrated blades, which the diamond stone often do not.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
