how to sharpen a knife

what is the best way to sharpen a knife with a shapening stone?
Should you push the blade only forward on the stone only or draw it back only or both?
OK Either will work but generally pushing forward works faster and better. the right angle is 22deg it will seem like 20 really 25 to 15 you will be ok. one more thing what kind of stone do you have there are dry-stones,wet-stones (water) and oil-stones if your not sure use oil
also what are you trying to sharpen? Garden tool Kitchen knife pocket knife? One more thing most blades now days are stainless steel. so be patient it sharpens slow and doesn't hold an edge well.
