Great Chop Off! My kind of knives...
Re: Convex grinds. I had some old Blackjack knives (1-7, Trailguide...) with the convex grind. They were great at first, but I could never sharpen them just right again. Any tips on tools and technique for this gind? Thanks,

Re: Convex grinds. I had some old Blackjack knives (1-7, Trailguide...) with the convex grind. They were great at first, but I could never sharpen them just right again. Any tips on tools and technique for this gind? Thanks, The leather on wood strops with compound work very well to maintain the convex edge. They are available from several sources, including KSF, Lee Valley, and some other one I just can't think of right now. Or you can make your own. If you strop them lightly after each use, they never get dull. It takes some practice to get the technique, but anyone can do it. Also, it is not absolutely critical that you remove steel. Often, I just lightly strop the final edge on a ceramic rod or steel to straighten the edge back out after use, like butchers do.

Just saw a picture of the upcoming Swamp Rat 911. It looks like a flat grind, like the M9LE has. The M9LE is a great light chopper. So I'm bumping this old thread. A good light 9" blade of SR101 steel with the right grind can do a lot.
Edit: The Rodent 9 has a convex grind. It appeared briefly on the Scrap Yard order page for some reason.

D/T -- that was just a "test run" according to Jerry. The Rodent 9 will be offered again pretty soon. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

HD Here is the Specs that were sent out in the Busse newsletter. I'm not exactly sure what all this means but I know your the man when it comes too edges. Any thoughts. Also thanks for another great review.
The Rodent 9 is the first of the Rodent '11 Series to be
offered. Featuring a 9 1/2" long blade of SR-101 steel with our new
and exclusive Ultra Convex Bevel the Rodent 9 has proven to be a
very effective chopper and all around great camp knife.
Our new Ultra Convex Bevel delivers the toughness and
strength benefits of a convex grind coupled with the overall
superior cutting geometry of a near full-height flat grind. Our Ultra
Convex bevel is a mere 1 degree off flat, CNC bevel, that rises to
within less than 5/16" from the spine. Killer strength combined
with superior cutting geometry is what the new Ultra Convex bevel
is all about.
Specs at a glance:
Overall Length: 15 1/4"
Blade Length: 9 1/2"
Thickness: Approx: 1/4"
Steel: SR-101 / 58-60 Rc
Handle: Black Canvas Micarta
Blade Width: 1 5/8"
Grind: Ultra Convex Saber Bevel
Finish: Black
