I have to say that I agree with Doc at least partly. I have never put a convex edge on a knife and I have flat sharpened evry convex one I have resharpened and some time that takes a LONG time on a stone. I have read tutorials on convexing with mouse pads and stuff but I have sharpened on a "stone" so long that anything else feels foreign to me.
I have to say though that what has affected me the most is that none of the convex edges I have had have been able to be touched up on my Sharpmaker. Maybe some of you guys can tell me if that is just because the convex is too thick or just because its convex. I really like my Sharpmaker for touch ups. In the field while hunting though I take a fine DMT.
Be prepared.......It is more than a motto it is a way of life.

Doc, the argument that a convex edge will not be as sharp as any other grind is basically a moot point IMO. look how many put crazy sharp convex edges on their knives. sure maybe not straight razor sharp... but that's impractical for field use anyway. Also, you may get just as much work done with a flat ground blade, BUT I do sometimes think that convex grind are a little more durable. Either way, I voted yes because w/e the grind may be, I feel Busse and kin need some work to the edge. Well, I only have my S5's.. and can't speak of other Busse makes... but mine are both shaving sharp...good enough... I wasn't trying to imply that one shouldn't resharpen their own property... or to change anyone's mind about what they like....I just think the convex edge argument is so academic that in terms of real world use, you are right.. its moot, anything that is sharp will work....I just think it's kind of a fad or fashion....

i think tyger just meant he thinks to each there own and dont hate on anyone for having their own opinon. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> That was pretty much what I was trying to say, and tease Doc a little.<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> By no means was I saying that I didn't want to hear your opinion, Doc; I was just trying to point out that others have had experiences that differ from yours. I wasn't trying to say that they were right and you were wrong, or that one way is better than the other, or that only the "senior" members of the forum should voice opinions. I have enjoyed learning a thing or two from everyone on this board, both senior and junior. I think whatever way you find best, is then the best method for you, whatever it may apply to. Sharing your opinion is what a forum is all about. I apologize if you felt that I was coming down on you; I was only attempting to do a little friendly joking with you, that's all, since you said in your post that ,"I'll probably regret typing that." If you haven't noticed in previous posts, I do like to joke a little. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I like them sharp, whether convex or flat bevel edge. But I just find that even when I use a stone, my edges are more convex than flat, so what the heck? It's easier for me to do a convex edge on a belt sander anyway, much smoother than using the platen. It isn't a huge difference anyway unless you have a full convex zero edge. That makes an uncanny difference in a chopper. But any edge that is sharp will do. The edges I have seen on the S5 pics appear to be pretty good. I have sharpened flat edges with a strop, and convex edges with a ceramic rod. It's just no big deal. Sharp is sharp. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
