The sharpening guru is just a fat old man on his back porch. I am sure that the larger more powerful commercial knife grinders could make short work of this. Thing is, I can mess up things fast enough on a little 1/3 HP one. It takes a light touch and a smooth action, repeated many, many times to maintain the proper shape and contour. I have messed up a few knives. You just can't rush these things. I don't have 100% success with these projects. I really have to be mentally up to it. The NMSFNO is the largest Busse I have done a full convex grind on. Since it already had a convex shape to it, all I had to do was follow the existing contours as much as possible and blend it to the final edge. My FFBM and FBM both have been stripped and convexed, but not full convexed from spine to edge. I am one with Champagne taste and a Schlitz budget, or else I would only buy Limited Edition or Custom Shop Busse Combat knives. I just love the look of bare steel and the cutting performance of convex grinds on INFI.

I am a big machete user in the Summer. My true ultimate knife is a NMFBM LE about 1/8" t 3/16" thick. An INFI machete. But then I have not seen the Killa Zilla Kukri yet, and I'm a kook for kukris, too.
