Here is a device that anyone can use, no previous skill or knowledge needed, than can put a good 'working edge' on most any knife, usually in less than five minutes. All you have to do is cut straight down 20 times on each side. The stones maintain the correct angle for you. Couldn't be any easier...
It's called the Spyderco Triangle Sharpmaker, and it's sold in most large sporting goods stores, Amazon, and of course, the Internet.
Here's a video showing someone using it for the very first time to sharpen a pocket knife, but it works just the same way when sharpening a kitchen knife.
It really IS this easy. The resulting edge isn't quite as fine as I like, but certainly more than sharp enough to satisfy most people, even professional chefs.
