My understanding is that is used by knife makers. But, most woodworkers in my experience use either water stones or diamond plates. And oil would NOT be used on either one. Please educate me.

Hi Tony,
I’m a huge fan of this type of guide for my plane irons and chisels. It gives me great results every time, and setup is simple. This is similar to the one that I use: https://amzn.to/3Ca1ccY

I found out that canola oil works well too though honing oil will be the best oil to use since it is designed for sharpening

There are a number of ways that this can be done. The article that you are referring to is one good way to sharpen them. If you search for the word “sharpen” on the wwgoa site, you will find a number of helpful resources on this topic.
