I also recommend a honing rod; a good ceramic one will run you 40 dollars or so. Takes some skill to use, but it will change your life. Your blades need to be realigned.

It differs from a sharpener in that a sharpener takes material off the knife. You should hone every few weeks; sharpening should come once or twice a year. Sharpening too frequently will a noticeable reduction in the knife's physical size relatively quickly (not that it still wont cut).

Hrm, my sharpener has two ways to use it, one that takes material off and one that doesn't.

I would be interested in seeing what kind it is. A lot of sharpeners have both coarse and rough whetstones.
