I'm not a fascist. I'm a priest. Fascists dress up in black and tell people what to do.

Straight or very slight rounded taper (convex) is what you want for a woodworking axe or hewing axe, heavily convex profiles are for splitting axes. I grind my axes for woodworking either with a very slight hollow ground bevel (50cm grinding wheel) which is then honed. Or I use the belt grinder which gives a slightly convex profile. Could also give a straight profile but I tend to use the portion without any backing plate for the final polish,
