I am pathetically bad at sharpening knives.  

I carry a small "sharpener" that has a notch with two stones set into the sides of the notch.  I run the blade of my knife through the notch.  I don't know if this type sharpener is actually doing any good.  But I confident that if I put a stone or a file to my blade, I'll turn my fillet knife into a butter knife.  Any advice regarding "fool-proof" compact sharpeners for sharpener-challenged people like myself?
