The easiest option with modern steels is to keep the edge sharp by frequent touch ups and avoid the need for a full sharpening job. All the replies above are great but I would especially point you to Joeaksa's honing technique with the leather, I would only add to be careful how you lift at the end of the stroke not twisting the blade. Almost as good is using a mousepad with very fine grit sandpaper or the back of a notepad. I've e-mailed you some notes which expand a bit on the topic.
