          Is there any sharpener that someone tested and can recommend for these and the Shun knives? I know the stones are the best, but I really don't know how to use them.

          I probably wouldn't get the bread knife. you don't need SG2 for reven had bread. 
You guys should chek out the Tojiro ITK bread knife or a Mercer Genesis Bread knife, even a wisthof Pro bread knife

          For some of us we want a matching set.  That's why I ended up with the bread knife.  Yup, nobody needs an SG2 bread knife but it matches.

          How much are you looking to spend? 
 
Fixed angle systems don't require much skill, but are $50-100 (Edge Pro knock off on Ebay), $150+ (Hapstone), $225+ (Wicked Edge GO, dual sided).
