Just get a curved rod for your stone holder, works perfectly :open-grin

I wouldn't try a convex edge on my only 15V knife for now since it won't meet wood. But I'll try on the Mule if I manage to get one !
On a fixed blade, putting a convexed edge is more appealing to me.

There's my Des Horn, could be interesting on that one...

I'm trying to learn, on my own, how to freehand sharpen on diamond plates. Everything I sharpen seems to come out with I convex edge. Is this normal or am I doing it wrong? I thinks its just a product of me not using the exact same angle with each pass across the stone. Is this something desirable or do I need to keep working on my form? My blades seems pretty sharp but seem to lose the razor edge pretty quickly. I do know a stropping after every couple uses helps drastically.
My guess is you have a burr instead of a clean apex.
