Depends on what your are trying to sharpen. The oil stone is good for pocket knives or kitchen knives. For an ax , I would use an electric grindstone. And as for a honing oil, I would not even bother to use it. Just rub the blade at an angle on the whetstone.

I use WD-40 on my wet stone, I use a file to sharpen an axe.

if you have it pneumatic tool oil works well.
For an axe put your grind on the blade with a bench grinder then give it a fine edge, you'll put Paul Bunyan to shame with it. haha
