It slashes limber stuff well now but the edge is a bit thin. I rolled it some on the maple. No problem, I can fix it in 2 minutes.
I think that's common with a fresh full convex, edge always starts a little thin but gets thicker as you sharpen it. It looks really good, great job. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> And whatever happened to Boots SOD? I never saw the final product. I want to see what my stripped tan SOD will looks like one day. Thanks, Pink. I have had brand new Bark Rivers do the same thing, but a few strokes with a ceramic rod and no more problems. The edge is fine now. As for Boots' SOD, I had to do some extra ginding on it to get out the the grind marks. It was a repair job. Here is how it looked when I sent it back to him. ![[Linked Image from i173.photobucket.com]](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/SYKCO/Boots007.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i173.photobucket.com]](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/SYKCO/Boots005.jpg)

Vic, I've said once and I'll say it again: You are the Master of Convex.
I had no idea a SOD could look that good. I prefer it over the LE.

Nice work HD! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> What is the best way, when doing a full convex, to find flat spots?
Thanks. Look down the blade. They show up dull and and dark. They are left over from the flat saber grind. I mark them with a sharpie and by the time I grind the marks away, the blade is ready for a finer grit. Thanks HD! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Lol, that was my guess. Hum, no MOAB, what else would be annoying to convex... Oh, I got it, how about your Waki when it arrives???

Seriously thought, how cool would one of your zero-edge convexes be on the Swamp Rat Waki?
