Looks worthy, Sam. What's your opinion of a convex grind on a knife designed for rough use in the field, particularly where you may not have access to a strop and compound over several days of use? Some experienced outdoorsmen claim that this is why they won't use a convex knife, i.e., because they want to be able to use a small stone to resharpen their knives in the field. Seems to me, though, that if you can bring a small stone, you can also bring a small strop and some compound. Heck, even the back of your belt can be used as a strop if you didn't bring one.
