Anything special in regards to sharpening a chisel grind?

I'm a total newb when it come to sharpening and it seems like chisel grinds might present some unique issues. My Surefire Dart has one and it did not exactly come razor sharp. I think it might just need some minor honing/stropping but only having one bevel means I should hone/strop the one side?
 
i make some freaky sharp chisel grind knives. there is nothing special about sharpening one just dont touch the flat side of the blade with a stone or anything abrasive. try stropping the blade on some leather, flat side up to start then flip and strop the flat side. you can hold the spine up just a little when stropping the flat side.

here is a vid of a chisel grind knife i made cutting free hanging newspaper http://knifetests.com/kII.html
here is another vid a member made of the same knife http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8q_eMwRaHYg
