I have to disagree about a convex edge will not slice though paper very well. I use a convex grind on the cutting edge of all my hunting knives. I have a 2X48 horizontal grinder. After heat treat and finish hollow grinding, I use a 100 grit belt to get the edge to a burr. then 220, 400, 800, 1600 grit then polish with a 2X48 leather belt loaded with green chrome.
I can lay my knife edge on the edge of a notepad paper and just the weight of the knife will cut though the paper. My S30V knives are heat treated to 60RC
