Folks claim that a convex edge lasts longer and is easier to sharpen. Not for me. Never having a convex edge I needed to sharpen I am new to it. But conventional V grinds, been doing them for nigh on to 50 years. I can get one sharp enough to do some major damage, at least with the edge that I prefer.

I tried sharpening the convex and it was quite easy to get it sharp but I didn't manage to make it razor sharp.
V-grind came easily to a point where the biggest problem was to think fine enough device to continue working.

Convex edge is good on large blades made for hitting over cutting. Alltough I think V-grind works fine also. Convex edge stays sharp enough maybe longer than V-grind so in certain applications it's good.
WD is a small knife so I want it to be a cutter.

Good morning gentledogs!
I read the thread Dupont started about Rainwalker. I'm really looking forward for my first Rainwalker seath.

Sorry. It was duFontaine who started the thread. My memory combined with my phones ability to predict words isn't always a working combination. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />
