Paul Sellers put out some youtube videos for sharpening woodworking tools (chisels and handplanes) that are not completely applicable to kitchen knives, but there are a few details that do apply.

  1. If you're using diamond stones, a little bit of glass cleaner will help float away the particles, without you having to worry about rust afterwards.

  2. A leather strop is great for honing, and with a little bit of chromium oxide added, it's quite capable of polishing. Note though, that on softer metal, the CrOx can actually take the edge back off a knife, as I've done that myself :P

I always get the pure green compound (ex: amazon y un mas)
Since stropping removes that little bur formed from use (or sharpening) and restores a keen edge, you should be stropping every time. It doesn't remove much material and doesn't take any amount of time. Only after hard or extended use should you need to revisit the stones.

Ideally you strop more often than hone and hone more often than grind.

If I'm hand-planing I don't strop my chisels, just like I don't pay bus fare when I drive me car :)

honestly if you're not looking to get into all the ins and outs of sharpening then the spyderco sharpmaker is a pretty solid choice and it can get you a hair shaving edge. i'd also recommend picking up some untra fine ceramic stones, a strop, and some green compound. for more in depth info check out this thread as well as the sidebar over at /r/knives. i hope this helps you out.

3 Diamond Plates and honing compound on a strop.
The diamond plates are true and flat and will last a life time with depending on use. They will sharpen effectively for a very long time (life) unless used by multiple people for multiple edges daily.

There are many brands here's one of them.

I bought the 8 inch DMT diamond plates. 250 grit, 600 grit and 1200 grit. I think they are called coarse, fine, extra fine. Found this comparable item on Amazon.

I built the holder from a discarded IKEA chest of drawers. The strop is a piece of leather from an art supply store glued to an offcut mahogany. The buffing compound is chromium oxide.

I will surely share the finished bench here. Since I am vlogging my progress, I forget to take photos, so I will remember to do that.

>I would like to maintain the blade through continual touch ups rather than redoing one. With the strategy, will I have trouble maintaining the proper angles?

Some. Touch up will help maintain an edge for MUCH longer, but you will still eventually have to actually sharpen the knife.

I would go with this if you can't put any more money into sharpeners. You may have trouble with s30v or anything harder, but it should work for MOST of your blades just fine.

Also, look into making a good strop. You only need some stropping compound and some cardboard or better a good piece of leather glued to a piece of wood. That will be the easiest way to maintain your edge to shaving sharp.
