Some people prefer a more "slicey" edge than the more obtuse edge that most Busse knives come from the factory with. Many different ways to get the desired result; mousepad and sandpaper, wicked edge, lansky, edgepro, kme, water stones, worksharp, paper wheels, belt sander, etc.
Do some searches on sharpening. There is a wealth of info on that here at BF.

I know I'm late, but congrats on that beautiful blade! I'm kind of new here so I don't know what the name for it is, what does AD mean? I know BG is battle grade, but so many names is hard to remember some, and this one I have never seen before, it sure looks nice all blacked out.

Well, a beautiful Black Bruiser BGAD was waiting for me when I got home!
Sadly we are in a power outage with heavy winds so I can't take pics in the dark. 
Just using the battery backup for satellite internet before hitting the rack.
