Sharpen or send it back?

Whatever the system the basics are always the same. Once you have been able to raise a burr along the edge on both sides at a consistent angle you should be able to work your way done the grits to a paper slicing sharp edge.
 
D2 takes a while. Keep working on it. If you're going to use the knife, you're going to have to sharpen it anyway.

Side note... It make cringe when I see how many people think that a knife is defective when it arrives with a less-than-perfectly sharp edge. It's a knife, a cutting tool, and sharpening is a part of ownership. I don't mean to direct this at you, SHS, it just seems like I see that sort of "dilemma" more and more.

You pay their steep asking price on a knife you should at least get something usable...the longer time goes on the less refined their knives become, look at the thin balanced grinds GEC are sending out for a similar price.
