I have both of those and they work great for chisels, even 1\4 inch ones

Freehand,
It must be simple and quick or you will not do it as frequently as necessary.
Rob freehands a skewed chisel blade here, Similar to an angled skiver, but the technique is the same with a straight chisel. 1k Diamond plate and 16k Shapton. Honing starts at about 1.55.
I do 1k diamond plate, Lilly White Ark and strop on .25 Diamond or Chrome Oxide. Stropping frequently on a pasted paddle strop negates the need to go to the stones for along time and maintains a keen, clean cutting edge.
Freehand honing takes minutes, start to finish. And the bevel is so wide it is easy to learn.
