Proto BOSS Streets - what edge should I put on it?

[Dennis in MA]

I am fairly good at convexing and I have an Edge Pro. So any question of "which are you better at" is moot.

The BOSS Streets proto's came with a pretty fat rough edge. So I'm looking to take it back a bit and get it nice and polished.

What's you're opinion? Convex or just a flat bevel with a Edge Pro? And why?

Thanks.

I have a nice 15 degree per side edge on mine and it works very well for me.

If it's too fat you can thin it out to like 10 degrees per side and then do a 15 degree micro bevel.

I have always been a fan of the convex edge because I find that it is far easier to maintain out in the field when I’m using the knife. If I’m out for a few days all I need is a strip of sandpaper that I can lay on my thigh and I can fix the edge at any time. Total additional weight in a pack is a few grams.

Wow. There's consensus for you. LOL

IMO the easiest way to maintain a knife in the field. That and the fact that I like the functionality of convex edges much more. :thumbup:

Buy two new cg boss streets from Busse, convex one, leave or improve on the v grind on the other. Test each, see which you like better, send me your proto.

I have always like convex grinds and edges better, for their ease of resharpening AND performance.
