What's the best way to sharpen and maintain this?

I use the FALLKNIVEN DC4 diamond ceramic whetstone that is sold here. I saw a technique from youtube where you make circles on the stone to keep the angle more consistent. Works for me. The s35vn blade does seem to need a bit more attention than I thought it would. Since it has a thin blade and is a bit elegant with the rosewood handle, I use it for more light duty tasks like package opening and around the office. It can slice through climbing rope scary fast though. I haven't had to take it apart for maintenance. It is a EDC for me for a year now.

If you don't want to try doing it freehand (which can be difficult to keep the angle right and consistent), there are sharpening systems available that make it easy. I have a Lansky system that was pretty cheap with oil stones, it a few bucks more for diamond stones you can buy pretty fine grit stones and even a leather strop to be used with it. I like it a lot but there are plenty of other options out there

But this knife comes pretty sharp and all you may need is a strop and some compound to use once in a while to keep the edge good depending on how you use it.
What is a liner lock?

Liner locks are usually thinner and can be a separate piece attached to the frame or scales on the inside of a knife. They are usually covered with a scale over the outside which makes them look nicer and protects the liner from being forced to far outward. Though the weaker of the two, the liner lock will hold up to probably any tasks you'd throw at a knife like this. They are still incredibly strong. Frame locks are usually a bit more substantial and stronger and are part of the actual handle (or frame that holds everything together) that flexes in. They aren't covered by a scale which enables them to be thinner than knives with the extra layer of scales on the handle, but that's not always the case. Frame locks are exposed on the exterior of the knife so they can be another every point for debris. I've included a picture with a frame lock on the left and the liner lock on this knife on the right for comparison.

Nope, But it is a pretty light actuation.
How do the rosewood scales hold up over time?

It holds up well. Mine is about a year old and looks great. I applied some buffers polish, more because I was bored than it needed help.
