Don't let the sweeping curve of this blade deter you from buying it. Since it's not a recurve, you can generally use any means you would normally use to repair then regrind or just hone an edge. If using a flat stone (with water or oil, as recommended), you just need to keep the angle steady while continually sweeping the edge (in contact with the stone) through your stroke. Many prefer the simplicity of flat or cylindrical ceramic rods or even a simple Lansky system with small plates or stones. If you can sharpen a straight blade, you can finesse the same techniques for the Persian blade shape.
It is important to strop—with or without compound—to further refine your honing or shaping of your edge and also taming any burr left behind. Always strop away from the edge (otherwise, you will gouge chunks out of your strop, thus ruining it).
Only recurve blades (concave curve vs. convex) require a different approach, like convex-curved Lansky stones but—even then—cylindrical ceramic rods do the trick nicely (ex. Spyderco's Sharpmaker).

I feel the same way too nice to scar up for me. Doesn’t feel or look like a daily user?

It's a very thick knife and the clip makes it so an inch of the knife rides up out of the pocket.
The knife is gorgeous, feels amazing, and has perfect action, but it isn't EDC-friendly.
I wish they'd gotten creative with the clip and made a curving clip that secured at the very tip so less of the knife poked up from the pocket. Wish 2: thinner overall.

This knife is a pocket jewlery. Given it's aethetics and price i won't use it in a grocery warehouse but it is 100% capable with all EDC tasks.

That rather depends on what you use your EDC knife for, but bear in mind that the blade is curved for all of it's length so if you do anything that requires a straight edge then the answer is no. Likewise if you use the tip of a blade a lot then it is very much above rather than level with the grip line.

What colour is the clip on the marbled carbon version? Blue, like the liners?

Yes, it is anodized blue line the liners. If you search TERZUOLA CYRUS on YouTube there is a nice close up video of it. Beautiful knife.

There are three distinct grinds to the side of the blade. One is a hollowed bevel that runs the length of the blade, one below it for the edge and one above it for the false edge. It's easiest to see this on some of the review pictures of the CF model with the satin blade rather than the stonewash
