These are part of my progression to get a mirror-finish edge. Very sharp.

The Edge Kit Convex Creation allows you to create a convex edge on any blade. With the coarse 30 Micron Diamond Lapping Films, you'll be able to reprofile and sculpt your blade's edge to create the most durable edge possible. The 15 Micron Diamond Lapping Film leaves you with a toothy working edge, perfect for everyday carries or as a step towards a highly polished finish. The included lighted loupe is necessary to ensure you've fully convexed the entire edge.
This kit also allows you to maintain every serrated edge in your collection.

I was successful in recreating a Chris Reeve "factory convex edge" with this kit with greater precision than the original factory edge, and at a lower angle. That in itself is very cool. When you remove the hard angle between the primary and secondary bevels (with a convex curve), the knives slice in a completely different way. This is really fun to play with on knives that are a little bit thick-behind-the-edge. The blades don't "feel" as sharp on the finger, but boy-oh-boy do they cut well. Shave well too. Maybe I need to try some finer lapping films?
The only downsides are that it takes a while to get to the finished product with 30/15 micron lapping films, and that the films are pretty expensive IMO. If a fellow only has a few convexed knives and doesn't sharpen them constantly...I'd think the cost is very reasonable. Taking the "freehand art" out of the equation when sharpening appeals to me.
A CRK with a v-edge just isn't the same as a CRK with a convex edge.
