Finding one to buy is easy.

The steel is basically 7 steels in one and will hone your blades to
a perfect edge. I bought one on the back of a recommendation from a
friend who is a knife dealer/sharpener and have found it to be a
worthwhile investment.

I guess I just need to learn more about sharpening in general.

Thanks,

Seth

Hi Seth:

I'd google for "scary sharp" -- there are pages out there that explain
how to sharpen knives (and woodworking tools) using wet/dry sandpaper
(1000 grit ++) adhesively mounted to a piece of plate glass, with water
serving as a flushing agent. The most important aspect of putting a good
edge on a knife (western-style or Japanese-style) is to maintain a
consistent bevel angle on the blade. I personally love the knife
sharpening stones and jigs available from Lee Valley Tools.
