I've always used a flat Norton honing brick. We used them extensively in the Toolroom/Machine shop. They are excellent. If your so inclined, I'd call Grainger, or McMaster-Carr, and see if they have any in stock (Damn Covid!!). Generally, these stones have a tan side and a black side, with tan being the finer abrasive, and black the courser abrasive.

Hope this helps.......
