It really doesn't take much to get half decent with a whetstone! I'm not very practically minded at all and I can get my knives pretty sharp with one after watching a couple of YouTube videos.
I'm sure if I spent a bit more time learning and practicing I'd be able to do a better job but all 3 of my kitchen knives are sharp enough to cut tricky stuff like tomatoes really easily. -
I'd quiet like to do the whetstone thing too, more so for craft knifes & chisel blades, from working in a staff canteen I do have one of these which (while mostly idiot prof) can be used ineffectively (to much pressure for the blades hardness wrong direction) but it's very quick and little hassle and the steels can be replaced.

I’d love to learn how to use the whetstone, but in the interim is there a decent kitchen gadget thingy one? Or are they all much and the same?
