Just a quick explanation of what a convex edge is would be greatly appreciated! Also, what's the difference between a blade angle and the "grind" of a blade?
 
Googled "convex edge", this is the first image on the page. Should explain some basic edge geometries.

Just an edge where the bevels are gentle curves or arcs rather than flat surfaces. A convex edge can be applied to any blade grind, but there is also a full convex grind in which the entire blade is convexed from spine to apex. Here are some basic edge types:
