Good morning. I've recently developed a new respect for diamond sharpening stones, much quicker than oil stones. I've sharpened my 5 kitchen knives to a razor edge then finished them on a strop, 5,000 and 8,000 grit. Same treatment for my pocket knives, What a joy to use! From what I read, the final polishing removes the microscopic toothy edge, making them stay sharper longer.
