When do I sharpen it?

"I got this blade about 6 months ago. It has become my regular carry blade when I'm on duty (US Army Reserves). I took it to a 3.5 week NCO course - lent it out to other soldiers in my squad - and everybody remarked how sharp it is. I'm still waiting for it to need to be sharpened but it's still as sharp as when I first got it. Lightweight but with a solid lock-up. I have recommended it to friends looking for a good camping blade." - Customer review, August 2017
