OK, cop to it...

I have never owned one of those things, and never will.

If I want to touch my knife out someplace, my sharpener is always with me. A cut down Eze-lap model L is always in my wallet. It always sharpens my knife just fine.

I don't believe in any of those sharpening gadgets of any kind.

You don't believe that they will sharpen a knife
I've never handled one, but I'm pretty sure they will sharpen a knife pretty good.

Ceramic rod sharpeners - yep, they'll sharpen knives pretty good.
Carbide sharpeners - sharpen maybe, but not good at all. I'd say they sharpen a knife pretty poorly.
