Hello, so I got this new cheap koppa, and quickly upon inspecting it I realized there stone is convexed at the direction of the length of the stone.
The thing is I seem to recall some polishers utilizing stones they are intentionally convexed, so I was just wondering if it's a bad thing per se, or if you have an opinion about it?
I intend to use it for sharpening as well as a little polishing, have only tested it for polishing so far, and it did not feel like an issue there, not yet at least.
Anyhow it is small and thin so I want to mount it to something asap, which is why I'm asking for a second opinion before extensive testing.
The backside it pretty flat, Which I could use instead of going through an extensive lapping, I would just prefer to use the intended side of the stone of possible, preferably with minimal loss.

Hope I don't regret it, but eh it was cheap.
