I use either the belt method or I have a set of OLD arkansas stones. One wa####a, one hard arkansas, and one black surgical about 80 years old I found recently and were in very exceptional condition. They cut better that my new tri stone could ever begin to work (so I gave it away). I personally like oil and arkansas stones, just takes training your hand for desired angle. Made my first 4 water bottle cut last night playing with the edge on a blade I am working on, only sharpened freehand on the old stones but then I have been sharpening freehand over 30 years and kind of just used to it. I do have a diamond stone, ceramic rod thingy, and a couple other gadgets I have been given over the years but I just like the old stones. It is a matter of getting used to what you like and what works for you then using it a long time till it is second nature.
