Ignore the rubbish about honing guides you've read here so far, they aren't complicated and ensure repeatable accurate results. I can sharpen freehand, that is how I was taught but I choose to use a honing guide for the reasons I just mentioned. Some people have recommended carborundum stones which are fine for ordinary steel but if your blades are A2 or similar then your diamond plates are an advantage.
