Has anyone convexed a Dogfather? I am seriously considering getting my tanker grey DF convexed.

I havn't but I think I seen pics where Horn Dog convexed his DF

Does Horn Dog convex everything? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I just did a convex edge on mine. I never did a full convex grind on it.



I sold it after I got my DFLE.

I had Horn Dog convex my DF and it turned a very good chopper in to a GREAT chopper.









He's also done my Chopweiler and Howling Rat. I found that it improved the performance of my knives so much that I sent him my Camp Tramp, Muk and BDLE as well.

I've been practicing myself on cheaper knives and am getting there, but still have a long ways to go. Here's a Jeff White Nessmuk that was downright dull when I got it.






Needless to say I've become a huge fan of a convex edge. SO much so that my Apex EdgePro is collecting dust and may go up for sale soon.

I think he does from all the pics I seen of the chop offs. He can put a crazy sharp edge on a knife.

For me, using the belt sander without the platen is smoother and easier than using the platen and grinding a flat bevel edge. I can vary the curvature of the edge by changing pressure or the part of the belt I use. For a large sweeping full convex spine to edge zero grind, I remove the platen altogether and get a lot of flex in the middle area between the wheels. If I want the edge less curved (less convex) and flatter, I grind near the top wheel with light pressure, causing less flex in the belt.

Here's a Banned (fully convexed and frosty finish by Ban) DFCG.




It's a mean chopper.

Yep, that's a full convex grind. I bet that DF is a great chopper. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Another convex Dogfather by Horn Dog. I never get tired of em. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

That's a nice collection you got there MRpink! I love the convex look!
