The Sharpmaker is on my shopping list, by the way. It should be a good product since Spyderco began by producing knife sharpeners (in 1978). I may get it eventually. I've read that you shouldn't wait until your knife is completely dull before sharpening it. Anyway this topic is for another thread to come later...

I've used a ton of different sharpening systems over the last few decades and the Sharpmaker is my favorite. It'll sharpen anything with an edge. There are some really nice high-end systems that'll beat it for plain edges, but you'll pay an arm and a leg.
You're definitely right about sharpening before it gets dull. It saves a lot of work and over the long run makes the blade last longer. I'm a bit nutty about it. If my knife can't shave the hair on my arm it needs sharpening. The Sharpmaker comes with medium and fine stones. Usually a little touch up on the fine stones does the trick.
Have fun with the Delica. Great knife. Got one in my pocket right now.
