Has anyone done a full convex (ie, not just the edge but the entire blade) on a FFG BK16? After searching this forum and the Internet in general, I have seen a few people get pretty close to it, but was wondering if any Beckerheads had done it.

I just got a 16 from Tomars, with some rosewood tommythewho scales and it feels great. But the coating is itching to come off, and my worksharp is calling....
 
You'd lose a fair amount of width by the time you grind it down to a full convex, but it could certainly be done.
 
I think I would be more inclined to do a 0 degree convex edge, than I would be to try to full convex the whole blade.
 
Thansk for the replies, gents. Silverthorn, can you say more about a 0 degree convex edge? This newb doesn't understand what you mean.
 
OK.... I thought thats what I meant by full convex.... confuzed newb is confuzed.
