Default How do you sharpen a drawknife?

I asked an old timer, my wife's uncle, about this and he told me you use a
file and then a stone in the same manner as the file, just to clean up the
edge.

Sorry if this seems novice. I use sandpaper on plate glass to sharpen my

plane
irons and chisels. Obviuosly the handles of the drawknife would be in the

way.
Do you have to buy stones and drag it across them? How do you keep a
consistent edge? Thanks for answering.
