>>1737219>You have no idea what you're talking about.I have been sharpening knives for nearly 15 years. A convex is a continuously curved bevel, which can be achieved by using a soft base, like leather or a mousepad, under your abrasive. You can also use a guided sharpening system like the KME Precision Knife Sharpening System with a curved guiding rod (pic related). Another option is a slack belt grinder.
Any freehand sharpening method is unable to produce a perfect angle and will therefore inevitably result in a slightly convex edge over time. Especially with frequent stropping.
>.5 to 1 degree angles>You do 2 to 3 angles and then a strop to smooth it out. Again, post jig or larp.
>>1737249What am I looking at here? A bunch of needle files, a benchstone, a stropping block and a ceramic rod?
