Thank you very much for your reply! Basically you make the blade lean to one side and adjust the angle of the opposite side to compensate for the displacement. Do you think it would work for wider blades too, say .230 inches blades?
I always try to put material in the gap between the blade and the clamp on each side to prevent leaning, i have to try this method!
Does it look like the bevels are even?

Hi,
may I ask for a picture of the blade in the clamp with the chamois holding it? I have a lot of FFG and it is difficult for me to clam those with foam tape. Thank you!

Thank you for your replies, i did not think about a tin can!! That is a really smart idea. I will try this out later today, i’ll let you know what happens…
Realting to the convex edge, i read the blog posts long ago, when they were written. Actually i find your blog very informative.
The A1 test has always worried me. I am a lover and a user of big chopper knives, much bigger than the Fallkniven you posted about, and i am actually very scared about the possibility of not being able to sharpen them on the WEPS. Moreover, almost everyone is FFG! :pinch:
I read the FAQ entry about finding the angle of a straight edge: i cannot understand how to apply it to a convex edge yet…
Ad a last question: should i buy a progression of strops from 14 m to the .5 i already have to maintain a convex?
Thank you all, bye.
