Whetstone Knife

What should I buy to sharpen my pocket knife?

This question might sound simple, but what should I buy to sharpen my pocket knife? I know that there are many products out there that sharpen knives, but which product would be good for me? Should I get a whetstone, water stone, oil stone, Japanese whetstone, an automatic knife sharpener (like this one http://www.amazon.com/Presto-EverSharp-Electric-Knife-Sharpener/dp/B00006IUWM ) or maybe one of these knife sharpeners http://www.amazon.com/AccuSharp-1-001-Knife-Sharpener/dp/B00004VWKQ

Gerber makes a decent, low priced sharpener that actually works well on plain blades.

For the combo blade – a plain front with a serrated back, something like this might be ideal for you.
