I had a few of the Meaners and noticed both kinds of edge.
Keep at it with the Edge Pro and you will work it into shape.

Never seen a MrS with a convex edge.

What combo do you have?


edit- you will like the thiner edge better anyway for what you describe. The convex is mainly for chopping or hard use were you need a thicker tougher edge.

I am talking about the black micarta.
It looked like 3 different people sharpened them.
A couple were axe grinds
Wish I had a better pix...

I'm working on getting the edgepro, its not me i have to convince...My MrS is the muddy variety.

I want an edge pro myself, I was a union meatcutter for many years and have no problem with a stone. But some of these edge pics I've seen done with the EP look better than mine, looks like a perfect factory edge.

I have the Muddy like yours, not convex but like you say, it is a thick edge.

I have an edge pro, but don't use it any more.
I bought a $39 dollar belt sander and am loving it.
I am a Profesional Chef and sharpen alot.
I have switched most of my work knives over to lightly convexed..

Tyrkron gets amazing results with his edge pro!
His knives look like they were sent to a service

it might be the coating that is creating the problem you are having with the stone.

you will be happy with the edge pro. im not an expert, but ive been able to get shaving sharp edges on every knife i have used it on.

i reprofiled a sebenza from a convex to v grind. ive also been able to easily sharpen my emersons which have a chisel grind.

the busses have been the easiest.
