With sharpening stones you will give your knives a great edge. You can do it from home, since you don’t need to be a professional to get your knives cutting like the first day.
Choosing a sharpening stone is not an easy task; you must pay attention to the available grits and materials. Although it is not an exact rule, here are some figures to use as a reference:

Grit below 200: ideal for restoring the bevel of knives with extreme damage such as nicks or chips from drops.
Grit from 200 to 600: ideal for restoring very damaged or blunt edges.
Grit from 800 to 1000: suitable for bringing back the lost edge of knives in good condition.
Grit from 2000 to 3000: used to improve the edge of a well-maintained knife.
Grit above 3000: you can achieve a razor-blade finish. For a soft steel knife, a stone above 3000 is not worth it, since that razor edge will barely last a few cuts.
Artificial sharpening stones: these are the best for hard steel knives. They are usually double grit (one on each side), which lets us have in a single block the two grits we use most often.
Natural sharpening stones: They are usually more affordable, and for soft/medium steels they give excellent results with a very good value for money, such as the 3-stone kit BL-120.
If what you are looking for is to maintain your already sharpened knife, you can use sharpeners or simply a honing steel.
