If you are really doing a good deal of research, I recommend watching "Virtuovice" YouTube videos on sharpening, and hunting knives.

The guy reviews multiple hunting knives (over 20) and shows you how to strop, the edge pro, and more. He even takes his knives to camp and uses them to remove back straps and shows you which knives work better than the others.

I use DLT strops, and Barkriver compound - here is his YouTube on those
