A quick question about sharpening my ESEE'S. 20 degrees per side right, so my ceramic sticks on my Lanskey in the 20 degree holes right?

A lot of people play with their edges quite a bit. If I am going to be beating on the knives a lot, I do a more robust, thicker edge geometry. If you are going to be slicing soft fruits and veggies, skinning game, or other finer tasks, you may want to go with a more acute edge.
What you mentioned will do just fine, but don't think it's the only way. I sharpen freehand, so I don't really know what angle I sharpen at exactly. I've never used a guided sharpening system.

That's a great idea with the sharpie,and I would love to use a diamond stone freehand but I fear I would tear up a fine blade. The Lansky has 25 degree holes also plus med and fine sticks. I usually after a weeks daily use give it a few swipes and I'm back to shaving the few remaining hairs left on my arm.
