Let's talk sharpening!
Sharpening is a pretty big topic in the woodworking community.
Which system do you use?
Personally I have the DMT diamond stones in three grits (coarse, medium and fine).
I also have a japanese waterstone (3000-8000 grits) for when I need to plane weird grain directions and I need a smaller burr.
For the stropping part, I used to use a strip of leather with fine compound, but I find that a buffing wheel on my grinder with green compound works faster and better to remove the burr and make the bevel the shiniest.
You're looking for this. Diamond is best, but consistent angle is everything.

That's great!
But I sharpen chisels and plane blades (occasionally marking knives) 😜
It has great reach. I use it for every knife I've got. Chisels and plane blades I assume you use a angled roller for.
