i find that for a traditional shaped edge a stone is fine but some edges with a recurve are difficult or almost impossible to sharpen on a flat stone .a ceramic rod system has worked well for me in these cases. have recently purchased a spiderco kit ,but have not used it yet.
whatever you guys use, try finishing up with a leather strop and some jewellers' rouge. your blade looks beautifully finished with the edge fading into the blade seemlessly. shaving sharp too.
