Simplest would be ceramic rods, like Spyderco Sharpmaker. Easy to use and cost is reasonable. Because the diameter of the rod is small, as is the 'contact patch' on the blade edge, it can handle tricky stuff like recurves with ease. My approach with this particular knife (of which I have 2) is to use steel plates with diamond grits down to between 2,000 and 8,000 grit (depending on blade alloy and purpose). ALWAYS use leather strops with or without compounds for finishing and for maintenance between uses.

workshop sharpener with grinding attachment, 17" belts, adjusted for the grind bevel. you can throw away a lot more money on lesser sharpening systems.

Spyderco Sharp maker is always a good choice along with a leather strop.

CdoyleI use ceramic honing rods for all my knives to maintain the edge after a heavy period of use or after several lighter duty uses. If the edge is damaged you will have to reprofile using differing grit level stones until you bring back a sharp edge.

Rmk7 I do the same as well. I have a sharpmaker for maintenance and a leather strop. If I need to re-profile or fix heavy damage such as chips I have a Lansky guided system with diamond and ceramic hones. Before I had those systems I just had a basic Lansky turn box with ceramic rods which got the job done also. A lot of people just use a spyderco sharpmaker only. They all work great.
