What to use to sharpen knives

[Viper1]

I use a coarse and medium oilstone, followed by a Soft Arkansas (medium stone), then Hard Arkansas (fine stone), finished by a Black Hard Arkansas (extra fine stone)

A good oil to use is 3 in 1 or hydraulic oil

The real trick is to not to roll your wrist while sharpening

When I'm done with the Black hard Arkansas stone my knife is razor sharp.
