Am I the only one that sharpens different knoves differently in terms of stone, procedure, angle, etc, even for the same use?

I have two different primary edc knives: a Delica and a Cold Steel Voyager. The Delica gets a 12 degree edge off of Naniwa water stones held on my angles sharpening block while my CS Voyager gets a 17 degree edge off a Norton Economy stone using a DMT Aligner clamp and finished in the Sharpmaker at 20 degrees. I have an Ontario knife that I plan to finish on a Hard Arkansas stone. I’m all over the place really. Is it just me?
 
not at all, that's how we learn and play... it's part of the hobby. eventually we find our personal "the right tool for the job" methods.
 
I bounce around too. I try to keep the angles the same, but I used all types of systems.
