The small plastic kind with two ceramic rods is the simplest way to keep an edge.

The ceramic sharpeners mentioned above depend 100 on the users ability to keep the knife blade absolutely perpendicular to the crossed sticks. Even the slightest wobble dulls any sharpening you've previously accomplished. The ceramic material also quickly fills with metal dust limiting effectiveness.

Instead, carry the smallest fine jewelers file you can find. A couple of strokes on either side of the blade (away from cutting edge)gets you back to a wickedly sharp edge.
