Show Me Your Sharpened Fatty GW!

[Boar-gen]

I have used my .270” Fatty GW a lot and now it’s time to sharpen it and say goodbye to the factory edge! But I can’t decide how I will sharpen it! Should I try to give it a full convex edge (but I have no prior experience!)? Maybe just use my Edge Pro and stick to the angle it has now. Or maybe decrease the edge angle and get a scary sharp Fatty….? I really can’t decide!

Please help me to decide by showing pictures of your Fatty GWs you have sharpened and tell me how you did it.

Thanks,

Boar-gen

I convexed mine. It's as sharp as can be!

Shoot, I just took some of my convexed pumpkin GW, but the wife took the camera with her out of town. But it is only a .22

Sweet! That would be the only Fatty for me---a FFG, Zero.

I just got an edgepro yesterday in the mail and used it to sharpen my skelly warden and .190 warden, than I put a mirror finish on the edge with some of that polishing tape it came with and........ holy crap! Those are both some shaving sharp muthas! They definately qualify as scary sharp at the moment. If you have never convexed an edge Id suggest practicing on something where you wont care if it doesnt come out the way you want, just my .02.
