I use a aluminum oxide ceramic "crock" stick. The ones I use are about 4" long. They never wear out, and the only time I have to use oil on them is when the get so impregnated with metal that they wont sharpen any more (Takes about 5 years of steady sharpening) Then you use a little 3 in 1 household oil on paper towel and it will pull most of the metal right off of them. Also it puts a VERY fine edge so I don't have to use anything BUT them.
12 of them cost $3.49 + S&H at smokey mountain knife works. That is about a ten lifetime supply unless you lose or break them.

Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun. - Ecclesiastes 8:15 KJV
"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
