The older e-series definitely had the asymmetric edge (which, BTW, is set up wrong for lefties). I have no idea about the straight handled models. The current stuff (including both my Meaners and Custom Leaner) is symmetric and MOSTLY flat ground. You will occasionally find zero edged models (like the ZT series), which is my preference. The new SJT is completely convex according to the mother site.

All of my current model Busses have convex edges.
The Satin Jack TAC is interesting: a convex grind, with a convex edge bevel.
Check out the Keeping It Sharp link on the following site. There are some great hints for sharpening convex edges.

zero edge is also sometimes used to state that there it is completely convexed at the edge, so that there is no line visible between the main grind and the edge bevel.
that doesnt necessarily mean that the main grind and the edge bevel angles are the same, they can be quite different, say 5 degree's for the main grind and 15 for the edge bevel, they are just very widely convexed together, so that you cant really tell where the edge bevel starts.
