Asymmetric edge, your experience?

Cool, yeah thats what I remember seeing, flat side with a ceramic stick. Assuming you did enough repeated sharpenings, How long did you go jus sharpening the flat side?

I usually did both at the same time. Stick on one side, strop on the other.

I had to fix the edge a few times, and I felt it was even easier to fix than a full convex.

I've convexed a more than my share of knives. I convexed my old FBMLE by hand. That took a while!
 
Put the fat bevel flat on a stone or diamond plate. Keep that angle and get the whole edge until there's a burr on the left hand side.

Then do the same thing to that side. Line the bevel up so the ANGLE is the same, then when you've got a burr along the entire right hand side (big bevel) THEN strop. I use leather with some sort of compound. There's a green brick somewhere that people get pretty good results with.


Look, It's 'Ole Butt-Less! Yes, she has a very fine edge. Love that Asym-Edge.
 
Here's mine....
