I like Tom’s idea of doing a convex bevel on this knife. That would probably work well.
Edit: Putting a convex edge on a knife is a more involved process than the typical way that you sharpen with the WE. You might want to stick with the basics until you’re more confident.
I just watched Clay’s vid on how to make a convex edge. Gonna try it on this little guy. Would hate to mess up my 110…

Put the 110 back on the bench. I used the 1000 grit at 25 degrees, then 24 degrees… and then stropped it at 21 degrees. Good stuff.

I think you’ll find as your knowledge grows and your technique becomes more refined that the learning curve never truly ends. Each knife presents an opportunity to try something different. That is part of what makes sharpening a hobby unto itself rather than just a means to an end for me. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy using my knives as well, but I enjoy sharpening more than I enjoy using knives. That probably makes me an odd fellow, but I already knew that about myself.
