“(convex hones anyone?)”

Are you talking about Convex Honing knives or straight razors?

I have been purchasing components for making a set of convex hones for knives. I will post the method and results if there is interest. It is rather simple and inexpensive.

I have read and seen the video of the guy who makes the “Humped” hone that he claims Dovo uses. I fail to see where intentionally convexing a straight razor edge is necessary or beneficial. Except for honing a warped razor, which I suspect is what Dovo uses it for.

As we all know Dovo factory edges are not stellar or in some cases “shave ready”.
