I can get the paper trick to work occasionally but only on a reprofiled thinned out edge. The two yard knives I've got wouldn't sharpen at all with the factory edge profile- it was just too thick... Both Lansky'd up pretty well at '25'! I think stropping would be the only cost effective way of keeping 'em convex if you want that type of edge.
