Both my ScrapYard Yard Keeper and my Bark River Bravo-1 (green micarta scales w/ red liners) arrived. I haven't had a chance to play with them much yet - but I did try my hand at sharpening the convex grind on the barkie. Sorry for the crappy pics, I'll set up my lightbox when I get an chance.

That is weird.... I have never received a Barkie that I felt I could improve the edge on enough to justify trying to re-sharpen until well used.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> . JYD #39 I prefer "SATIN" blades!!!

Barkies are some of the sharpest factory edges I know of. Good that you got the convex technique down. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> Good system. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> .
