Sharpening Stones

Hi, I was just wondering what type of sharpening stones (Shape, material and grit size) do some of you find best when it comes to sharpening your beloved bonsai tools?

I use a pair of Arkansas stones with oil, one medium, one fine. Don't know any more info than that on what they are--had them for years. Be sure when you sharpen, you not only pay close attention to the angle, but also sharpen the correct side so you maintain the gap on cutters.
