Ceramic steel and a strop.

Waterstones to set the main profile one time (or maybe more depending on use of if dinged the blade) and then like GregS said, ceramic and strop is the way to go. Busse leaves the angle maybe a little steep, some complain about this but I see it as a way for the owner to set the angle he/she needs for the intended purpose.

the NUC EDC... has quite a steep edge, if you want to keep the original profile, than stones and ceramic rods, if you not - you can sharpen the same method, but first worth to thin out the edge a bit...the NUC EDC has a slight recurve, so ceramic rod would be better than a wide waterstone.
It will be on it's way soon...:thumbup:

i sharpened quite a few on the paper wheels. you can maintain the edge with just the paper buffing wheel if its not too bad. http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=578787

Jah, water stones. But pull the edge away from the stone until you get a burr, then strop it off.
