Sharpeners
Check out the Spyderco Sharpmaker 204: http://spyderco.com/catalog/details.php?product=77
I've been using one since 1989 and they are great for sharpening all your knives. The angle of the blade against the stone is IMO the key thing in sharpening and the 204 does a good job in making this task simple. The 204 also allows you to put a utility sharp 40 degree bevel on your knives. It also allows you to bevel a 30 degree edge (15 degrees each side) for back bevelling and if you prefer, a 30 degree for your knives that are required to do lighter jobs that require more intricate cutting.
