I've spent quite a while watching youtube videos and practicing with whetstones, which achieved fairly average results. 15 minutes with a Lansky system got better results.
So i'd say get a Lansky or similar, and maybe a fine stone as well.

This sort of thing?
Yep, exactly that.
See my link to make sure you get the latest clamp as lansky changed the design a few times as some users didn't clamp their knives properly.
I'd say from my experience it's a bit awkward using the Lansky on small knives, I'm not sure it would work well for the Gerber
