Agreement with TheKnifeCollector.
Mine seems to be holding its edge well and, therefore, haven't had to sharpen it yet. But when I do go to sharpen it, I'll be using the old standby Spyderco ceramics (which I use for my BM M2 knives with no difficulty). I suspect I'll have to strop this blade, though, to re-attain its factory edge (or sharper).
Haven't tested the lock excessively as it's a wee little knife by my standards (which is why I bought it). It has passed the usual tests (big spine whack, rapid light spine whacks, rapid heavy spine whacks, twist with closing force, etc.).
