Just a basic two-sided 1000 to 3000 grit whetstone and finished with a leather strop. This seems sufficient for everything but my S30V steel folding knife. That one needs a diamond stone and even then I can’t get it anywhere near as sharp as this stainless Victorinox Santoku knife let alone my carbon steel bushcraft knife that’ll get scary sharp.

You love to see it
I’ve only recently got a whetstone and am still not quite perfect with it yet
It’s a nice meditative activity though
