At a recent demo, the Demonstrator stated that when using a skew, catches can be minimized if it is sharpened with a convex bevel instead of being hollow ground. Does anyone have any experience along these lines?

Dennis That's interesting because it feels like I have to move the convex skew further to cut a straight sided bead. That's where I have the problems. The the flat bevel I don't have any trouble rolling over the edge and lining it up for the flat slide cut. With the convex ground skew I lose the cut going around the corner of the bead and then get a catch trying to find the cut again.
