I dug out my Fallkniven TK4 this weekend, a knife I had consigned to a drawer at an earlier stage in my knife collecting/habit. i had consigned it to a life in darkness because I'd struggled with the obtuse edge and been unable to achieve anything resembling a useable edge with my Sharpmaker. A couple of years and a touch more experience and I'm maintaining most of my knives using the mouse mat method. I've spent a hour or so putting a finer, convex edge on the knife and it's worked wonders in combination with the convex grind! I've also softened the handle edges where the blade sits with a file and sandpaper.

I think this may be my EDC work knife for a while, has anyone got a similar story to tell.......?
 
you cant beat a convex edge for durability in my opinion. i sharpen a lot of knives and quite a few are convex edges. have you tried a coarser edge (toothier edge) on your knife?
 
I'd love to see pics of your edge work. The TK4 has always interested me but I haven't obtained one yet.
