Best sharpening tools? At home and on the road

if you get the paper wheels, there will be no need for the waterstone. the ceramic rod works great for away from home. i have a small one that i carry in the truck. also a 2x72 belt works great if you have convex edges on your knives. if you are in the woods and need an edge redone, you string the belt between 2 trees that are close together and use it similar to a strop. you work up a burr and when you are done you filp the belt and use the backside as a strop.
to string the belt you will need a small stick going through the belt at each end to keep the belt flat.

DMT diafold is a nice folding two sided sharpener for the road.
I think paper wheels and water stones utlilize different techniques;
one is more for convexing, while the other is more for creating / maintaining bevels.
You can do both, but I'm not sure how efficient it would be to use both methods
on the same knife.
