I highly suggest the JRE Sharpening Block... here is a thread on it http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=601020
I've been sharpening for years and this thing is awesome. Especially for a new guy... you don't really need any skill to form or maintain and already razor sharp edge... it will eventually convex all of your edges... but with this thing in your kit maintaining them won't be a problem. If you can strop a knife... this kit will be all you need. And you can get replacement paper at Auto Zone for not a lot of money... so it's easy to keep up. You can also buy more paper from JRE and it is of higher quality... but the AZ stuff works just fine and is easy to come by. Good luck... Sharpening is unfotunately a lost art these days and it's always good to see someone willing to pick it up. It will give you an edge over the rest of the people in this world... no pun intended.
