I recently got one of this, and it came dull from the factory, does anybody knows how to sharpen it?

I have bad luck at sharpening chisel type edges.

Thanks
 
I would use a sharpmaker or other crock stick sharpening system. From what I can tell from a picture of the knife, but no firsthand experience, it looks like a recurve and as you said a hollow ground chisel edge. Not a whole lot different as far as sharpening is concerned from a crkt m16-14sfa. Mine sharpen fine on the sharpmaker. I just do a 10 to 1 sharpening per sie. Meaning 10 strokes on the bevel side and then 1 stroke on the backside just to knock off the burr and keep the edge straight.

Other option, is use one of the sharpening guys on here or the one listed on bokerusa's site. Shouldn't cost too much.
 
That's the little "reality based" pen sized knife. I got one. Not a bad edge, but since it is chisel ground, you have to hold the edge at a slant to what you want to cut.

Seriously, it's a stabber, or maybe I should say a jabber. Not for slicing tomatoes! :p

I improved the edge by stropping it on a belt, like you would a straight razor. Two minutes.
 
rev. chuck, i make chisel grind knives and i use a belt sander to sharpen them on but you can use sandpaper on glass to do it. if you want some help send me your number and i'll give you a call and talk you through sharpening it. i can also sharpen it for you.
