Always, I like thin edges.



Makes an even bigger difference with choppers.





Nothing I use either blade on ever causes damage to the edge. Looking forward to thinning out my new S5 and putting it to work.


Doc: Why do you think it's pointless? A convex edge can easily be maintained in the field. Cut a strip of leather or a mousepad and bring some sandpaper, then lay them on something flat and sharpen. Or do what I do and bring a fine ceramic rod and use a microbevel for touch-ups in the field then reset the convex profile when the microbevel starts to get thick. Convex edges cut nicely. They seperate material well compared to a V edge. Regardless the most important thing to getting good geometry behind the edge is how thin you take it, not whether it's V or convex. I use a microbevel with either edge type though, so field touch ups are no issue.
