Hummm, looking for the third one but the chiesel ground would be something new for me...
Any real difference with a ffg ?

It's really nice for detailed work on leather, great for precise cuts, I've made one myself just for that. Also pretty easy to sharpen, you do the one side and knock the burr from the other.

The real con of a chisel grind is that it tends to have a bias when doing long slices.

Therefore, it mostly comes down to the task at hand.

I just read there were right handed chiesel grounds and left handed chiesel grounds, i am leftist, are these ok ?

I believe not.

I haven't held a left hand chisel to be 100% certain. My guess is that what makes them great for precise cuts is being able to use the flat side and push cut through material, therefore it wouldn't be ideal to use one of these with the left hand.

I can't recommend one of these, what I can do is to make a new one for you with a left side grind(no extra charge, same price).
Shoot me an email at montknives@gmail.com if you are interested.

PS. I will be out for a few hours, I'll answer to you once I'm back.
