I use ceramic sharpening rods. They're hard to find, but my Kershaw will fillet the print off a newspaper, and my boss at my old job (resteraunt) forbade me to sharpen the knives after a co-worked shortened his finger by about 1/16" and didn't notice for several seconds. Something about risk of blood contamination, I dunno. I've always found diamond stones and such to be too coarse for my taste; I like a scalpel-fine edge, and all it takes is 5-15 minutes per night to maintain. Takes about a week of this treatment to turn the edge into a mirror, no visible tool-marks at all, even under magnification. The only downside is that unless you've got a stock for 'em, ceramic rods make it very easy to cut yourself pretty badly.
