Tools: sharpening jigs?

I haven't started the stripping yet. I have two generic, basic, planes .. a large one and a small one. I had picked these up a few years back at
a home "box store" for other work. They weren't advertised as low-angle planes. The larger one is actually too large for the kayak project.
Should I invest in a specific plane for my kayak work?

I am doing a B&C kit so the planes will be used for clean up and fitting, mostly. Anyway, I need to sharpen the planes and have been reading about the
Scary Sharp method. My question is ... what do folks use for a sharpening jig? Is there a specific model folks recommend?

Thx,
Rob
