my first meat manager always finished with leather. the other cutters finished with a diamond steel. his knives were always sharper.

I use an old belt, if I do it at all.

Then again, mostly, I just run it across my stone a few times. I dont need to be pretty a cut paper and do all this nonsense knife purists do on forums.

My knives cut fishing line, mail, twine, cord, and other such things with no issues.

Good enough for me.

Then again, nothing wrong in honing a craft, making an art out of it either.
