In the last year I have convexed and shallowed the secondary bevel on all of my hollow grind knives. This has made a huge difference in the attainable sharpness level. Most of my hunting knives are 420 HC, so i have to strop a micro bevel on them to get the edge to hold. For me, it is the best hunting edge because you get the "no suction" meat slicing power of the hollow grind and the sharpness/toughness of the shallow convex. It is an awesome edge.

Yes. Their warranty repairs are awesome. All the scales were thinned dowen as I like. And they polished off all of my sharpening scratches and put a new logo on the blade. They all came back like new.

Thank you for your video, Wako-san! It is very calming to watch your work with water stone. I am still having trouble sharpening my first convex blade (an Enzo Tundra) as I am used to scandi grinds and it is a mystery for me how to sharpen a convex blade on a flat stone. I thought that would flatten the convex bevel, but you are able to sharpen your convex knives very well.

I suggest you try the KME sharpener. Epoxy a small flat piece of metal to the back of the stone holder and use an angle cube to precisely set the bevel. Get the diamond stone kit and buy an extra course stone and an extra extra fine DMT and cut it down to 4" so it fits the holder. Thank you for your videos. They are very informative.

Using a tight stitched muslin wheel on a buffer with compoud sharpens some knives even better than the strop (for me). On the BRK forum, Mike Stewart confirmed that this is their process for all knives. He rarely uses a strop on his own knives; he uses the buffer with a light touch. It will also remove the scratches further up the blade you pointed out. You can use the buffer first, and then the strop. It works.

Unless the primary bevel geometry is convex or flat, the total removal of the shoulder is impossible. My newly made shallow bevel needs a transition line to the primary hollow bevel. But the line should not be called shoulder because it doesn't prohibit me from stropping the apex. It is just a bevel transition line. Thanks.

virtuovice so the newly created shallow bevel is just more gradual then the hollow grinds original primary bevel?

Hello, I recently subbed you and have been enjoying your videos. I tried searching "virtuovice fillet knife," but I couldn't come up with what I was looking for. I wondered if you were a fisherman and had done any reviews on fillet knives for fish cleaning. Is there a possibility that some fish fillet knife reviews and maintenance videos could come in the future?

I understand the theory behind the convex edge, but while stropping, my brain tells me to increase the angle at the end of the stroke to get the most sharpness and a true convex. My brain also tells me this edge will not bite, and it is confirmed by my fingers. My convex knives cut paper smoothly, but never get screaming sharp.
@vector8310

Bob Adkins my sympathies. my brain's always telling me things, too. just kidding. seriously though, I agree with your point here. convex edges for me seem to require more finesse, and even then it's hit or miss. But I had a Busse ASH 1 whose convex edge was screaming sharp and stayed like that with minimal stropping. yet other convex edges (Busses and not) were hard to bring to merely serviceable sharpness. heat treat at the micro level, I guess.

Carthago Delenda Est... it depends on what you are looking for. I am just starting to do some real looking into convexing, because my scary sharp V-edges don't always hold up as well as I'd like when cutting stuff in the real world. While a convex edge might not give you as sharp an edge as a V-edge, the trade off is that it will be more durable. Currently, I'm leaning toward V-edge for kitchen knives, and convex edge for folders/fixed/hunters (and maybe cleavers).
