Guys, I am bound and determined, especially since I've got a couple convex ground FBs to finally be more than barely marginally successful at convex sharpening.
I've tried this many times over the past couple of years and I just can't seem to get it. give me a scandi or a flat ground and its gonna be scary sharp when I am finished.
Convex, I am a lot better than I was two years ago. I can usually manage not to dull it even more but it seems I can get them only marginally sharp. They will cut a hair but only after its half pulled out before it cuts, lol.
I have watched a number of videos, including Derrick's @ KSF. I've tried the sandpaper/mousepad and strops with Bark River Black/Green/White compounds.
Really frustrated but not giving up ... but just aint getting it.
Any help is appreciated. Any pointers or tips to what I might be doing consistently wrong, appreciated.
