    I'd take a look at Jbrodia's videos. Most informative easy to follow videos I've ever seen(on all subjects he covers) Jon does a great job you can't go wrong starting there.

    An Edge in the Kitchen by Chad Ward is a wonderful book for anyone interested in kitchen knives and the sharpening thereof.

    Agreed 100%...read this first to get a basic understanding of what happens when you sharpen, then watch as many videos as you can to see different techniques and try them out.

    Then start practicing on a stone. First get the mechanics of holding a consistent angle down, then learn how to deburr, etc.

    Just remember that it takes time, practice and skill to become really proficient. Also, you don't need to buy a huge range of stones and equipment right off the bat either, they won't make you any better at sharpening... get 2 stones and possibly some felt w/ diamond spray for proper deburring and this can get you amazing results once you get the feel for everything.
