I've always sharpened my fallknivens on stones. Honestly once you get the hang of it then it's more natural then sharpening a v edge.

I’m back for more. You’re covering the good stuff. Very useful and gives you confidence to use your blade. Things happen and to know how to restore it is so important. I’m still practicing all the time.

Cool, thanks

I’ve had a Fallkniven A1 for over a decade and have never sharpened it with anything but a DC4.

I was searching videos about convex edges because Im carrying my bark river gunny hunter Lt today. And this video came up. At first I thought I missed this video from last year. But nope, I had given it a like. Because I watch all videos, and I like.

Carry some 800 to 1200 wet dry sandpaper it weighs nothing can get wet and placed on top of cloth can be used to sharpen convex blades.

I have actually put convex edges on some of my hard use work knives that came with flat ground edges originally. They definitely hold a working edge a lot longer. Especially knives with m390 and 20cv. Simply strop at night and it’s ready to go the next day.

Great video Aaron, very helpful. Can I please ask what book you were referring to, with the description and picture of the convex grind? I have a number of different types of axes and knives, and it would seem to be a useful reference book. Keep making the videos, always informative 😊

Thank you and recently happened to my Garberg. Blessings! 🙏🏼

Small circular motions work well, for field sharpening convex grinds and edges.

G'day Aaron, as much as I really love a good sabre, I reckon a convex is the "ducks guts" as we say, (it means extremely good or the best, lol), Yes they take some practice to use and maintain well, but hey, ...... what doesn't. Cheers Duke.

Interesting technique. For a slight roll, I'll give it a try. For a chip it will have to be flattened, in my experience. Also correct in sharpening both ways not to turn a convex into a flat. I did that in my early days. It is still a good knife, but you lose a big advantage in the convex grind.

Thanks!

Gonna try.this on my.ratmandu I convexed it by hand but usually just strop

A good sanding sponge can work too (cut into strips)!

God Bless u.. I can't sharpen my knife free hand.. But with the Worksharp belt sharpener,. I can't muck it up..

I'm surprised no one has built an inverse grinder wheel for this application. Spinning... The inside Hole of the wheel is the work surface.

Mouse Pad and Wet / Dry Sandpaper works great for convex edge

I do not buy any convex edged knives just because I just don't know how to resharpen a convex edge. I do use stones and the worksharp adjust but it's different...

I really like that knife.

Hi, what is the title of the book you show at minute 1:03? Thank you

Can you visually tell the difference between a convex and flat grind knife? I can’t tell at all

Im sorry if this is a stupid question but am I right in thinking the strop needs a compound on it?

@gideonstactical

Жыл бұрын

Depends. I have used a leather belt many times to strop. But different compounds will create different course levels.

You barely damaged that edge, what about if you actually damaged it?

Ceramic rod for convex in the field... One diamond one 3K grid..

I don't like convex i'd rather just go for a wider flat angle overall for longevity even if it's "duller"

Convex knives don't provide performance aka edge retention. They do have their advantages though. But cut testing in both rope and cardboard has shown longer edge retention with v edge. With fixed blades I prefer a convex. With folders I prefer v edge.

I appreciate the video, but you barely pounded on that nail. If you were batoning the force of hitting a nail or rock would be much harder and would test your edge, steel and ability to re-sharpen in the field more. You held back too much.
