Q: When sharpening - do you use a German knife sharpener, since it's a German manufacturer, or a Japanese style, since it's a Japanese blade style?

Use a great quality Asian sharpener or learn how to use whetstones preferably. A German sharpener sharpener sharpens the edge at approximately 21° whereas the Asian sharpeners sharpens between 10 and 15°. This blade is so thin on this knife that it is definitely recommended to sharpen it at the Asian 10 to 15° as this will result in a razor blade. And there's no need to sharpen too often, just straightening the teeth out quickly with a good quality honing steel.
