Good advice from Jupiz for a first time sharpener. Get some practice on a knife you care less about before you do the ones you like. And flatten the stones periodically as they tend to dish through use and will stop sharpening properly. Wetstones are easier to flatten than oilstones, but they also dish more quickly.

Long time whittler, first time sharpener. Having never sharpened my knifes before, usually due to leaving them in the woods or similar, I've got one I really like, but it's a bit blunt. Do I just need a whet stone? A specific one, as there seems to be loads when I start googling it...
