So what's your go-to grind, scandi or convex? (full flat is for losers so we won't count that one haha). For a big knife there's no question that I prefer a convex, but the water gets murky for a small belt knife. If I thin a convex out quite a bit (like an old hickory) then I do like the robustness of the convex. But once I pick my mora back up its always "oooh, this is why I own twenty of these..." Those thin scandis will just slice all day!
So I guess my personal choice is... 'it depends', but my convex grinds have to work very hard to keep up with the raw geometry & slicey-ness of my scandis.
What say you?

Don't really have much of a preference. Used them all at one time or another, although it will probably be convex from now on since I just recently purchased a Work Sharp, Ken Onion edition. And I always marveled at how much my Barkies dug in to a piece of wood.

Scandi and Convex are my favorite. Somethings don't change I guess.

I can now add and maintain a very very sharp edge. Without them I always got mediocre results.

I have several knives, depending if I'm dressing in 1750's dress, or modern day....In old time dress, I carry handmade Damascus knives, a big belt knife, and a neck knife. As for modern, I love my M9, and I carry a Spyderco with it.
