Lots of ways to sharpen well, and even more ways to sharpen poorly, as it's one of those subjects where people with no useful knowledge loudly and repeatedly pass on bad information, usually while insisting their method is the only way to do things. I have a good-sized box filled with dozens of stones, but much like ohiojim I prefer diamond sharpeners for most applications. A set of small DMT's like the ones in the link and a leather honing strop (easily made with a strip of leather belt a couple inches wide and as long as you wish--a foot or so for portables and twice that for a fixed one, glued to a flat board and rubbed with stropping compound or even jeweler's rouge from the hardware store) ride in my truck and it makes for a nice portable setup capable of sharpening practically any blade, which can't be said for most jigs. Set your edge and tip profiles and fix nicks on the coarsest stone, then take out the scratches from that initial sharpening with the finer stones and finish by pulling backwards on the strop. Shaving sharp in a few minutes and can then be maintained with the finest stone and stropping unless the edge is damaged.
