It's very much a personnel preference so you will try a few before settling on something you like. These are my two I'm pretty happy with. Bigger one is a MJK jack knife made by a forum member and a little Honey Badger. Usually carry both but for a quick light weight trip I'll just take the little one.
As for sharpening I use my dad's old oil stone. Took a lot time and practice to figure it out but now I have pretty sorted. A good sharp knife makes the whole process a lot easier and enjoyable so stick at it.
