Really depends on the grind. Assuming a convex edge, an old neoprene mouse pad and fine-grit sandpaper works well. If it's pretty dull/chewed up, I'd start with 600-ish grit, and move up to 2000. If you want to get it crazy-sharp, you can finish off with a leather strop and polishing compound(s). There are several videos on YouTube that demonstrate the process/technique. Just search "mousepad sharpening" or "convex edge sharpening".
