"Or even modern non Bussekin steels.Sure a v edge will roll more or even chip,but you really have to be abusing it."

I have wondered the same things. To me, at least, it seems harder to get and maintain an extremely sharp convex edge. V-grind seems to sharpen easier and to get ultimately sharper then, my at least, convex edges. I do not have a belt sander so that could certainly skew my opinion. I do think a convex edge retains a nice 'working' edge far longer then a V-grind.

Does anybody convex their folding or small edc knives? My impression is that even expensive folders, at least with <5" blades, do not come with convex edges. My impression is that many on this forum and on bladeforums feel that convex edges are always the better way to go. If this is true then why does it seem few small knives come that way?
