Is the blade concave or convex? That is, does it curve in like a scoop?

I suppose that it depends from what side you look at it ( ;-) ), but I would say that it is concave, like most snow shovels. It is a high-quality shovel and I am very happy with it. To be honest, I do not think that I have ever seen a convex shovel(???).

Your question is not clear, but I will try to describe the shape of the steel portion to see if that helps. The lower edge that contacts the surface is straight across horizontally. From there up, the curve is concave and consistent across the entire width of the steel portion and not compound. (Wouldn't a convex curve have to operate by PULLING the handle toward one in order to move snow rather that skip over it if pushed forward?) The picture accurately represents the shape of the steel portion.

no not that flexiable, the silicone blade is but not the handle and holder. you would have to go from side to side on the curve

The blade is blunt. It works well for making my husband "ice cream" with crushed ice, coffee creamer, and frozen bananas - every night. The small jar is just the right size for 1 serving.

They are SLIGHTLY curved like a scoop. If you google "bamboo salad hands" on Images, you will see some better photos than what the seller presents on Amazon and you can see the curve.

Yes the blade does have a slight curve to it. I was new to paddling last summer, when I bought it, and it was very easy and comfortable to use. The length adjusts about 3 inches which turns out to be enough so my wife and I can use it comfortably. The carbon fiber makes it very light and strong. This is a great paddle for the price. I highly recommend it.

It is spring assisted and has a notch that sticks out when closed that you press down and the blade opens pretty quickly. Great knife carry it on me everyday.

This has a pointed rounded mouth. It is curved like a spoon but there there is a different model that is rectangle shapped but the shaft is different - SDS MAX. This is the old discontinued Makita or Hitachi design: Makita part # MAKB-10300.

The handle is not round. It is oval, which fits nicely in your hand. It feels like solid stainless steel, but I'm not positive. It is lightweight and easy to handle. I really like mine

It is definitely a rounded end. If you read my review, we had one like this for 35 years, and the handle finally separated from the blade. We were overjoyed when we found this one on Amazon and ordered two of them.

It is not perfectly flat like say a glass beaker. But it isn't convex either. It is flat with a slightly raised rim on the bottom, similar to the bottom of a glass beer bottle. Hope this helps.

The "blade" is already blunt in that instead of coming to a sharp edge, it has a radius (curve) on it. I suppose if you wanted to flatten it by grinding, you could. However, I'd be careful in not going too much or too fast. You could take too much off, or overheat it, making weaker!

The photo for this product seems to be an older version. The new one that I received does have the newer, curved handle. Search for Microplane Professional on Amazon and you'll see what the new handle should look like.

Don, there are finger grooves on both sides of the handle. The way your fingers curl around the knife, you dont really feel the grooves against your palm. All the contours on the handle are pretty rounded and it feels good in my hand. I've had this knife for a few months now, and I reallylike it.The spine of the blade is quite thick and gives the impression that the blade won't easily be snapped under heavy use. Hope this helps.

The handle is oval shaped. It seems to be solid. I like it, and will probably get another.
