There are two options.

First you can sharpen it with a single bevel (per side), this requires sharpening with the wide bevel flat to the stone.

Alternatively you can sharpen with a small second 'micro bevel' at a slightly shallowersteeper angle than the primary bevel. this makes it much easier to give the blade frequent touch-upups but you will still need to regrind the main bevel periodically when the micro bevel gets too wide.

800 grit is a bit on the coarse side but should be OK for general use, for something like woodcarving you would want to go a bit finer.
