Suggestions for a cheap knife with a convex edge?

[chickenfried]

Looking for a cheap knife with a convex edge. Lately, I've gotten a few knives with convex edges. But I'd like something cheap to practice on. Thanks.

Pick up a Mora and add your own.

I don't know your definition of "cheap", but Bark River is known for their convex edge blades. It's easy to find closeout models for under $100. You might save even more $$ by looking for a used Bark River on eBay or in the "For Sale" forum section.

Opinels all come with convex primary grinds, and a very small v-ground edge bevel.

Super easy to make it full convex. Just sharpen it once that way instead of on your sharpmaker/lansky/etc

Thanks for the suggestions. I was thinking of the bark rivers, but they're a little too pricy for a "practice" knife. I'll give the opinel a try.

I tried to give my Ka-Bar a convex bevel. Came out pretty good, although I think I may have made it a little too obtuse. Still is scary sharp, though not quite razor sharp. Interested to see how it does in the field though.

Many of the Marbles are convex edge.

You can put a convex edge on any knife you own. I've been converting several of my knives to a convex edge as they need sharpening.

So, buy the knife you want then if you want a convex edge, just convert it. That will give you many more choices.

Regards

It's not that I want convex edges on my knives. Some knives I bought recently have convex edges and I want to practice on a cheaper knife. My spyderco native ($40) was a knife I bought to practice sharpening. But I like it the way it is, so I wouldn't want to reprofile the edge.
