Knife Sharpening

I already posted the reasons you should have a sharp knife, and a couple different methods to get your knife sharp, but here is a video of how I sharpen MY knives. I know there are better methods, and I know I don't have completely perfect technique, but so far, this method has worked good enough for me. I use a Smith's 3-in-1 Sharpener, with ceramic rods to get the knife pretty sharp, then I finish it off with 10-12 passes on my homemade leather strop that I made from a fence picket and an old belt rubbed with some car polishing compound. Check the video out, and let me know what you use to keep you knives sharp.
