Spectacle me a Steel and/or sharpener

[Scottland]

At the moment I have a cheap supermarket steel and an equally cheap KitchenDevil sharpener, however the latter wrecked the blade on my old knife (admittedly this was probably a testament to the poor quality knife...).

So, I would like to keep my new knife (Henckel 4* Santoku) in good order, and any other decent knifes I pick up the same.

Do I need both a steel and a sharpener? Ceramic vs steel? Pull through sharpener or whetstone?

Cheers, I wasn't sure if the pull through sharpeners were
a) Decent/recommended
b) Able to replace a steel with 1 pass

That minosharp one looks reasonably priced. Would you recommend one despite the weak stones?

Also, is it worth spending a lot on a steel, or should I just stick to a decent brand?

Thanks all

I can vouch for the minosharp aswell - it's a good sharpener, if you're going to buy another steel get a diamond steel - absolute wonders.

Which would be better, diamond or ceramic (Kyocera)?
