If I could figure out how to keep the edge this sharp and the action this smooth that would be awesome. Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks guys.

Congrats on the new knife. If the action ever feels gritty, rinse it with soapy water then blow out with compressed air, especially the pivot. If it’s really bad, disassemble and clean. Then add a couple drops of oil in the pivot. I recommend KPL or 10wt nano oil.
For sharpening this kind of knife, honestly a pull-through sharpener is easiest for touch ups. I would use this until totally dull and then buy a new one, or invest a little more in a knife with a better steel and more durable quality.
I’d look into picking up a Spyderco sharp maker. It’s not a terribly expensive sharpener. This knife probably has soft enough steel that it would be real easy to sharpen on it. Learning to sharpen on this knife and the skill will translate on to other knives. Good luck with your new shank.
