The CQC-7 was the first decent folding knife I owned. And now I don't like it

I have the tanto version, and for the life of me, I can't sharpen it. I'm aware that my sharpening skills are quite limited, but I've had a much easier time sharpening other knives. I have a Commander too...you guessed it...can't sharpen that one either. Guess they just aren't my thing.
Two Emersons for sale...any takers? lol
