I too prefer cheap knives that feel good in the hand - balance & grip, 
plus full-tang is important.


Then, I enjoy using a variety of sharpening stones and a steel to finish 
on a fairly regular basis. Kind of a hobby that I'm not very good at.


I used to then run against a leather strop with some polishing compound, 
but have misplaced the strop.


Not that I'm particularly good at it; I tend to make blades duller 
before they get better, but the process is therapeutic in some way, and 
I like the sense of accomplishment when done.



That's just me though.
