I use a crockstick setup I got on eBay for $4 to sharpen the blades. Then I strop on my wallet.

Blades - Sharpmaker
Saw - never had the need.

If I'm at home then it's a sharp maker, if not it'll be a Falkniven DC4 or DMT Duofold

I use a guy. I mean, this guy has a shop and he's really good at sharpening blades, scissors, axes. So all I have to do is to give him my knife and come back 24 hours later. It takes a whole day, but I don't have to do anything.

Anyway, I'm looking for a Sharpmaker on eBay just now.

But in seriousness. If I'm at home sharpmaker or waterstones. Outside I use a DC4 like Mike, or if I got nothing with me a flat stone - that steel isn't too hard for a quick touch up on a stone. My Charge is a bit too hard for that really.

At home a nice fine bench-stone, on the move I'm another fan of the DC4.

I use this for almost all of my sharpening. Nice and easy:

Blades and woodsaw = Fällkniven DC4

How about for the serrated blades (non-saw) such as the one found on the dual pro? do you sharpen it the same way as you do with a normal large blade? or do you do something special?

I use Dunc to sharpen mine

I have heard that cost a bit in beer

Sharpmaker for me as well for plain & serrated edge blades.
Saws not sure what you would use

If you only have one knife you might not want the expense of any of the stuff mentioned above (Although it would be an investment and I might buy them all one day)
but a cheaper option would be to use some 'wet an dry'/ emery cloth on a flat board (A & B)
followed by a strop
