How do I sharpen carving gauges? (feddit.de)

I have multiple gauges with varying curvature. I fear that if I use a flat stone, the curvature might get irregular.

Convenient way is sandpaper and a dowel of a similar diameter of the gouge. The best way is to get gouge sharpening stones because I hate sharpening on sandpaper.
