The closest thing I've seen to "easy" is the Lansky system, but if you can get the hang of holding the correct bevel on your blade edge, you wont bother with the clamps and guides. My advice is practice on cheaper knives and once you get your confidence built up by developing a few "shaving" edges, you can sharpen "fancy" blades without worrying about ruining them. As with many other things in life, the secret is practice, practice, practice.
