Got a BG from the Exchange a few weeks ago and, out of all the midsize to large knives I've had, I like it best. It balances well, chops well, is adequate to good at slicing, and just feels like a knife and not a club with an edge.

I would like to know the edge geometry on these so I can keep the edge maintenanced. Thanks.
 
Congrats on the knife! :thumbup:

If it's still got the original edge grind, it's almost certainly convex, which means the angle would be variable. If you want to maintain the factory edge, the sandpaper/mousepad trick should work well, or maybe a loaded strop.

When sharpening knives, I've always used a v-grind. So when my blades need sharpening, that's what they get, no matter what edge grind they came with. I'm just more comfortable with that.
 
I was hoping it was a convex, so if no one has any data to the contrary, I'm going to rig me up a two-sided strop kit today. Thanks.cwd
