I've got a little 1x30 harbor freight grinder with a leather belt and also a leather wheel on a slow grinder. they make keeping an edge sharp between full sharpening sessions quick and easy.

but the same can be done with a scrap of leather and some polishing compound. You are just polishing edge (between sharpening ) and also removing any remaining burr when used at the end of sharpening.


Here's a good hand sharpening video:
