Focal Blade version 2.0 for Mac has just been released … it's now compatible with CS5 in 64bit mode.
A lot of new tools and features have been added and it runs very, very fast now (vers. 01 was a pain with large files).

Though I also own some other sharpening tools I always preferred Focal Blade as it offers extensive control over reducing halos and other unwanted sharpening artifacts . Actually it prevents you from creating layers with masks and/or "Blend If" settings as you can control everything within Focal Blade. In particular these tools have been improved in version 2.0:
