For EDC and Kitchen knives, I have two favorite sharpening stones to set the apex: My Dan's Primitive 6x3" Black Arkansas True Hard stone, and my Spyderco UF Triangle Rod. For steels at or under 154CM/440C/VG-10 or D2, I like the Dan's Black Ark. Anything like S30V or up in carbide volume, especially with vanadium carbide, I like the Spyderco UF Triangle. The only other stones that I would consider close are the DMT EEF stone and Belgian Coticule.
