Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
Sharpen it like any other knife. No special instructions needed. Or do you mean you have a 0 bevel grind?
Do you mean that it is flat from spine to edge?
If so, I've never seen one without a secondary bevel - you want to sharpen the secondary bevel exactly as you would a scandi grind, flat against the stone.
I usually prefer a slight convex on that sorta thing but that's just me!

Flat grind knife always has a secondary bevel, look closely and see if you can see it. If you use stones, diamond or whatever rest the flat on the stone then raise the back edge a little way up maybe and extra 10 degrees, hold that angle as you sharpen, then do the other side.
If you want an easy way or if you don't already have stones a spiderco sharpmaker or similar is ideal fro sharpening knives with secondary bevels.

i've also got a couple of knives with a flat bevel on one side, its litterally flat from spine to edge.
yet the other side has a bevel then secondary bevel on both.
any idea's?
