Cosmok-
The latest issue of the "Knewsletter" from OKCA has an excellent article on blade design for the BladeSports competition. They are big on slightly convex rather than slightly concave (recurve) blades due to the 'grab' of the blade and useable length of the cutting edge in chopping. Have you as a designer/user noticed any large differences chopping with the recurve rather than a flat or convex edge? I have very limited experience with recurves other than the kukri or kukri machete and would appreciate your take on edge differrences before dropping more cash on a 'new' (to me) design.
