Convex edge on Mora?

[CyGuy#1]

Hey guys, I was just wondering how many of you put a convex edge on your Mora's or other Scandi grind knives? Or do you just keep the "v" on it? Thanks.

After i learned how to put a convex edge all my knives have one.. Works great on a mora. First i put a "V" edge and finish with the convex. It dont seem to shave the hair on my arm as well but for anything else it cuts same and last much longer.

I put one on a Mora 2000 and it was great.

They are plenty sharp for me just the way they come. I can't see much difference between the convey edge and the regular scandi edge. JMO

The Scandi edge is so sharp, I'm kindly afraid to mess with it. I just received a few new Moras yersday and the 510 came with a rather "unsharply" edge. While feeding it to the Sharpmaker, I was wondering about how a convex would do, but then, when I finished, it was sharp enough to scare me. I left well-enough alone! :thumbup:

That said, if my new-found love of Moras continues, there's no doubt I'll try a convex. I'll probably just do it straight from the Scandi grind without first cutting a v-grind. We'll see how that works.

All of my Mora's end up being convexed eventually. I am not sure if it is the way I sharpen them or the strop I use, but after 6-8 months the scandi grind always transforms into a convex grind.

i sharpen my mora like i do a convex, but it isn't really a convex edge...its just ever so slightly rounded.

i use a peice of heavy cardstock, like cereal box cardboard, with 600 and 1200 grit sandpaper taped to it to sharpen the bevel. this is followed with a strop. the bevel is still maintained, i just find it easier to sharpen this way vs a stone for the scandi edge. its a bit more forgiving and i don't have to worry about slipping and ruining the grind.
