This was my very first knife. I’ve never sharpened a knife before. Anyone got may advice and what I should use to do so? I want to learn how to do it by hand, so advice for that would be preferred but I’ll take any and all!

Practice on a knife you don’t care about. A simple sharpening puck will work if you have some skill and patience, or you can get a fancier sharpening system.
I’d start with watching some tutorials on using stones. You can order a Smith’s bench stone for about $25 or so. If you have a cheap beater knife to practice on first, even better.
Avoid pull-through sharpeners.
