Okay, not "how", exactly, but what method do you use? Diamond stone, wet stone, steel rod, etc., what have you found to be the best way to keep a nice edge on your pocket, hunting or kitchen knives?

if they are very dull, I like a fine file to get it in shape then a couple stokes with the rod

I've been advised to not handle sharp objects, but use a 3 stage electric and a steel for kitchen knives. File for axe/hatchet, and stone for outdoor knives.

Dry stone, then wet stone with some gun oil then I use sand paper to finish it.

I use a small 1 inch belt sander with an angle guide on it. Grits I use depend on how dull the blade is. For just touch up I use a 1000 grit belt with about 5 passes on each side. I then stop it on a ceramic rod. Takes a little while to get the knack of doing it. I started out with 2 junk knives until I got a feel for it. In the field I use a small diamond encrusted steel rod. Worksharp has some nice little ones you can carry in your kit also.
