You happy with CrKT brand?

If your angles are correct and a good edge has been established; a green paste coated strop should bring it back quickly. Unless defects need to be taken out with a whetstone.
I can’t speak to Diamond sharpeners. But I do clean my whetstones after every use to knock off honing oil and to keep the stones pores from clogging—bad and bad.
Another thing to consider; if it’s not made for that knife, whose to say the angle is correct. Different manufacturers different grind angles. Might do more harm than good. Not trying to be a killjoy, just some thoughts.

I really like the Journeyer. I don't have too much knowledge on CRKT as a brand but if my knife is anything to go by I certainly would recommend them for the money.
It's a slip joint knife but does have a separate locking piece that I don't carry due to UK knife laws.

What grit is that? I did some research on garnet stones a while back. Aren’t they 4K +?

@Twelvefret , I apologize. My post was reference to a sheath with a sharpener inside.
No coticule.…yet. Just coarse through surgical Arkansas stones and a few whacks across the below strop. Black coated to bare treated leather.

I recall as a kid my parents had a kitchen knife. This knife had a plastic box/sheath, you would store the knife inside and it was kept “sharp” by a system of sharpening stone wheels. Not something I think they make anymore, wonder why ? Obviously it didn’t work too well. I would say I expect in this day it is yet another thing where your average punter will just buy a new one. Before now knives were sharpened by street vendors for pennies.

Spyderco Police. This knife has been around the world with me. I bought it when I lived in Germany in the mid 90’s. It’s been on several deployments to the Middle East then New Zealand, Antarctica (McMurdo Stn), South Korea, all over the US and parts of the EU.
Field dressed a Mule Deer…dumb idea given the blade profile and was quite unnerving down to general cutting tasks.
I lost it and found it again. It was like seeing an old friend. Scratches all over that tell a story. It always held a great edge.
I recently sent it back to Spyderco, prior to this pic. They cleaned it up really good and put a factory edge on it for a few bucks.
All those ventures, I carried a vacuum packed US Flag folded in the ceremonial triangle. It's flown on several combat missions. Much like Old Glory, this knife only comes out on special occasions.
