What do you guys use to sharpen a knife like this?

A Work Sharp Knife and Tool Sharpener, Model# WSKTS works perfectly. It's designed to sharpen to this knife's edge profile (convex).

I use a soft mouse pad with fine sandpaper on it. Just Google how to sharpen a convex knife.

An mouse pad with some give, place the correct type of grit of sand paper on top of the pad depending on how much touch up you need to do. Usually around a 13 degree angle. The mouse pad is there to flex as you run the blade across it. If you only need to sharpen and not re-profile the edge use leather strop that flexes. Should be able to find details online. The sharpening system is pretty cheap when you make it yourself. This knife has pretty easy maintenance.

I use the Fallkniven sharpening stone it is called a DC4 Diamond-Ceramic Whetstone, as well I use a leather strop to finish the blade to get a razor edge.

This knife came super sharp right out of the box, and i have not had to sharpen it yet. When i do, i will do the same thing Robert Walker recommended.

honestly this knife comes very sharp and stays that way for a while. I would either take it to a local knife sharpener or just use typical sharpening methods

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 .

I use alcohol to keep mine clean and use my Lansky sharpening kit to sharpen them. You can only do it 2 maybe 3 times before it shaves to much metal and they don't come together close enough anymore

the best way is to go to a reliable knife sharpener person. If none are available in your area, there is a hand held sharpener you can use. It has two little crock stick areas that you use depending on the knife. Check out the Lansky PS Med 01 blade medic or the Zwilling J A Henckels Twin Sharp Duo Knife Sharpener. Stay away from electric ones as they are hard on the blades.

You can have a ceramic knife sharpened but really only by a professional with previous experience. all the home ceramic sharpers ive seen really don't work well. I would google a local knife sharpener in your area.

I have a Boker ceramic knife. I did use the Duosharp to sharpen mine and it will definitely sharpen the knife. Is it the recommended way? Don't know. My instructions tell me to send the knife back to Boker to be sharpened. Brian

I have not attempted to sharpen it. I use it for cutting and scraping dough.

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.

you must have one darn sharp knife to be able to do that.... i suspect the metal from the knife blade just "colored" the sharpening sticka little bit. hit it with a scotchbrite scrubbie and it will probably turn white again. that's what i did.

It's a nice sharpener that will put damn sharp edges on a dull knife, but I either use the budget set I sharpened with this great gadget, or my Cutco. Sorry that I can't help.

I sharpened my knife using this video's techniques, and it turned out really well, imo--my first time sharpening a knife with a whetstone, and it came sharp as balls. WAY sharper than it came originally (which was already pretty good). I used a KING combo stone with 1000/6000 grit.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DU23vi1PcjM

I just have some very sharp knives that I use. Tried using scissors but are not strong enough. Also used tin snips.

I use a plain hand held sharpener. Have been sharpening some of the knives for over a year now with no problems.

Probably Japanese sharpening stones are best, but they cost almost as much as this knife. Mac Knife company(Japan) recommends the Fiskars sharpening roller which I also love. I think it is also called a "kitchen devil". They are only $12.00 and they are super quick. I know two chefs that use them on their very expensive Japanese knives. It's on the net. Jeff

I try to rinse and sort of dry all my "nice" knives as soon as I'm finished using them. Later I'll HAND wash, rinse, and dry them. I'm working my way up to buying a carbon steel laminated Japanese knife (not stainless) and I believe this is the way to treat them if you want any satisfaction at all with these knives which can be super sharpened. Just practicing, but I think all $100+ knives are worth this extra effort.

A stone is best but I've found that dexter makes a diamond steel that sharpens exceptionally well. Just make sure you use a light touch and hold at the 11.5 degree angle roughly.

You'd need to use the rod that folds out and sharpen each serration with it, as far as I understand it. That can be time-consuming, but it 'works'.
