I blame Mike Stewart, Fallkniven, and Jerry Busse for this obsession with convex edges. That new SARQ CE is scary sharp, right from Wauseon. And the BRKTs all come very sharp. My first was the Bravo-1. I wondered why the Busses didn't come that sharp, but the new CE models are just as sharp. Now I want wicked sharp edges on every knife I have, especially my machetes, which are my most used fixed blades in the Summer.
