I sharpen my existing knives on a stone when they need it - seldom, at most yearly - and would hate to have to send this one out for the service.
Yup, just lay it flat. The flat side is typically not polished and stone marks look cool.

You could use a sharpening rod in between stone sharpening. Several runs on the beveled side followed by one on the flat side to deburr does the trick.

You sound like someone that needs a J-sword too....check out www.japanesesword.com
