There are lots of good videos on YouTube which I know is not a helpful answer without some links but remember there is no one correct way to do it.

What I wanted to add was once you've watched some stuff practice on a knife you're not precious about is the best thing to do. Using one of the little plastic wedge blocks to get an ideo of what angle is in your hands is really helpful at first, then eventually you won't need it.

The good thing to remember is you basically cannot ruin the knife. The first couple times you try to sharpen you'll probably end up with a pretty dull knife, don't get discouraged. Just try again, you can always bring the edge back. You'll learn a technique that works for you and eventually you'll get it.

Outdoors55 has a YouTube channel that has a lot of advice for beginners

Go with the Benchmade Guided Field Sharpener. It's dead simple (important to overcome the "It's fine if I don't sharpen my knife this time" feeling) and super compact, so it can easily fit in a drawer. I got one a year ago and never looked back.
