The waki was already one of those goofy convex grind with a different angle convex edge setups - shouldn't be bad at all to give it the zero edge, at least compared to some of the knives out there.

Simon - that is a nice blade. The FFBM is on my wish list some day. You gave yours a nice edge.

HD , I really had No idea of the amount of love and labor that convex takes to put on. It seems like a different knife when you get done...I bought a second hand SFNO that had that treatment....My CO bought it for $1000 off me in Iraq. Dan should hire you to do the YARD Custom Convex LEs...We would pay extra for your treatments.

Nice work, Simon. They really do chop better that way, don't they? I would say they chop MUCH better this way, especially the FFBM. I feel sorry for those who have the original edge on their FFBMs and use them for chopping. Everybody should have a beltsander and the knowledge to put a convex edge on their knives <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
