I carry a buck nighthawk when I go back packing with the family (655 with semi serrated edge), is there a decent compact sharpener I can buy that I can use to touch up the edge should I need too?

I'm not looking for something that will put and ultra fine edge on my blade just enough to get fairy sharp should I need to put it to heavy use! Also what are your thoughts on the 655, is it a fairly good choice?
 
Just to preempt everyone... Spyderco 204 Sharpmaker. (and the cheapest, coarsest stone you can find, in case you need to reset the angle to work with the SM)
 
Thanks but I was thinking about something a little smaller and quicker to use.
 
When I need a carry-on sharpener I always opt for the small arkansas stone (medium). As long as you don't let the edge get bad before touching it up, it is quick and leaves a great multi-purpose edge finish.
