I am new to the wicked edge world (actually I ordered one and haven’t received it yet!). I am looking forward to using it on my knifes.
I have a question about my convex edge knives (most are bark River). Can the WE be using for them? I have only hand sharpened them with leather strops or fine grit sandpaper. It seems the WE should work as long as I stay with the leather or balsa strops but I would love to hear your thoughts. Thank you so much for your time. I am new here. This is my first post.
njmamba: Yes, the WE can do convex edges. Basically, you create a series of bevels, then blend them together with the polishing process. It takes some practice and time, but the results can be outstanding. Use the “Search” tool in this forum to look for “convex”, or do a Youtube search for Wicked Edge and convex. I haven’t tried it, but it seems that would work. I did a quick check and found a nice pdf on convex edges at https://www.wickededgeusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Creating-a-Convex-Edge.pdf
