So I got a nice little knife sharpener.

Smith's PP1 Pocket Pal Multifunction Sharpener

I've been sharpening my blade but its not quite getting sharp enough. It tends to leave a slightly rough edge to it (though it is sharper than before).

But the sharpener has a carbide, ceramic, and diamond rod sharpeners. I'm confused which I should start with and finish with. Also wondering if maybe its my own skill or if I should need to do it longer. I sharpened it for about 15 minutes. While its sharper it doesn't pass the 'cut through nail' test.

I started with the diamond rod, then the ceramic, then the carbide.
