A stone will work fine. I've also used a diamond rod with great results. The transition is seamless as far as the edge is concerned, just less working room at the hollow ground tip. I would recommend a rod for this knife, but a stone will work fine with a little finess.

I use a very fine whetstone in general to sharpen knives. For every day,a couple of swipes on the sharpening rod seems to work.

Not what I would use. I use a bench grinder with an extra fine wheel, and a jig for the skew to sharpen mine. YMMV.

By using a really crappy dull sharpener. The sharpener actually makes a difference.

I would just use an electric grinder and run it along the edge........just like you would sharpen a hoe or knife!

I use the Lansky sharpening system and sharpen it by sections. I've also used the diamond edge "steel" to rought it in before I finished it. Works great for me!

A whetstone. From what I've read about those pocket sharpeners that you just drag the blade through, they eat your blade up. Whetstones take practice, but you'll be better off in the end.

No dahlinn no question is a dumb one. You can sharpen it with a regular cosmetic sharpener, however it'll never be pointy like how it is when you first buy it.

Use a grinder for a couple passes to expose the steel and sharpen the edge. After you grind off the coating a file or stone should do the trick.

One method to sharpen it is to send it back into the company. I believe they still offer free sharpening services for your Shun blades. You can use a wet stone also, however I would suggest looking at a you tube video or other guide on sharpening shun blades.

Get the shun whetstone, and youtube some videos on how to use it. Then you're going to need a honing steel, I recommend the shun one because it's designed for their blades... I wouldn't do it any other way because machines and "professional" knives sharpening companies aren't going to take the time to sharpen the knife properly and in the long run you'll shorten your cleavers blade / life .

Use the cheap roller sharpener from IKEA! I have been using that for all my Henkel's for years and found it to be the best sharpener ever. Easy and quick. A few strokes on the roller will make it sharp as new. Simple and easy and never damage your precious knives. Never leave your knives dull and abuse them for a long period. It may harm the edge too badly and that will require major surgery to revive it.

Any rough sharpening stone will work, I would recommend one big enough to hold or one with a grip.

I use it on my henckels and it works great. Just Google "knife sharpening with a whetstone". YouTube also has a lot of videos that will help you on " HOW TO". Just search same as google. (Coarse is always used first).

My husband had his for years & never had to sharpen it. Guess you could use a sharpening stone if you need to sharpen it though.

It is listed as a "high ground" (not 'hollow' or 'flat'), but can be compared to a "modified scandi grind". This just means that the angle of the Scandi grind has been lowered, raising the bevel closer to the spine of the knife. If this bevel goes all the way to the edge (and has no secondary bevel or micro bevel), it is an excellent edge retaining profile.

The method I use is the worksharp electric sharpener. In the field I may use a crock box with ceramic rods or a regular stone sharpener
