If you're just strictly after how to get your knives functionally sharp in the quickest, most foolproof way, the KO WS is the ticket.

If you're after hair popping sharpness and you enjoy the process of sharpening, go another direction

Get a Rada quick sharpener. It looks like two washers mounted on a base. It sharpens better than any stone or sharpener I have had. It's insanely simple too.

I use shapton pros, got them from chefknivestogo

That being said like the above post... not sure if you are consistently sharpening wood tools that may not be the way to go.

No way. A stone is the best way to sharpen a blade. It works for you but my knives are wicked sharp after being passed on 4in diamond stone.

for chisel, and hand plane blades I use this: Lee Valley MK2 honing guide

And wet/dry sand paper on a piece of glass or granite.

Coupling this with micron graded sandpaper is great. I forget the percentage of other size grit allowed with normal sandpaper, but it's way lower for the micron graded.
