Sugguestions on knife sharpening systems

My old Chef's Choice 100 is wearing out so I'm looking for some suggestions on knife sharpening systems.

It will be mainly used for kitchen knives but an occasional Swiss army knife (full size all the way down to the minis) isn't out of the question.

While another Chefs Choice sharpener is an option, they don't work well certain types of blades as you can't get the blade into the sharpener, so I'm leaning towards a manual sharpener. I tried a Lansky system, and while it can yield a good edge, it's a bit clumsy and the stones are so narrow that they can flip on their side or corner and mar the edge. Wicked Edge is out as I'm not paying $600 for a sharpener.

Looking for any suggestions on other systems that people might be familiar with. Thanks.
