Any knife with dual grinds on same blade?

[ReconTech]

I'm looking for a knife that has a chisel grind and a V-Grind, on same blade. Kinda like a "combo edge" except a different type of grind, not just serrations..

AFAIK there's no such thing...and it wouldn't be very practical IMO.

may i ask what this would be for?

I believe that Spyderco made a prototype starmate like that once... I don't remember where I've seen the pic though I think it was on www.knifecenter.com

It would not be a difficult modification to make. I did that awhile ago for a friend who wanted the region near the choil chisel ground to enhance precision wood carving.

Bob Terzuola offers what he calls a Step Grind on some of his folder models. It's not chisel/V grind, but it is, a thicker grind towards the back end for a stronger edge, and a thinner grind up front for more delicate cuts.

Jeff Hall does something I haven't seen elsewhere. He uses a chisel grind on the point of the knife to about 25% down the blade, to where he switches to a chisel hollow-grind. Here's a picture from Nosamk's site where you sorta see this:

I'm not even sure what you call a chisel hollow-grind, where one side of the blade is hollow ground and the other is vertical as in a chisel grind. I put this edge on a chisel I was playing with and it was an amazing push cutter. Maybe it would be called a razor grind (I don't have my straight razor handy and can't remember if it is hollow ground on both sides or vertical on one side).

Anyhow, the Bounty Hunter I have is extremely sharp, and I presume the tanto-esque style at the point would be a good penetrator (I haven't tried to poke anything with mine).

Is this what you are looking for?

That looks like one tough knife to sharpen.

Most razors are hollow ground on both sides, many japanese blades that are chisel ground have a hollow grind on the primary cutting face instead of a flat grind. Some other ones have a hollow grind on the back and flat grind on the front.

It seems I have read that Busse and Emerson knives have different grinds on each side of the blades.

 

[jjcoolay]

I think they called the busse grind an asymetrical grind??
The Emerson is a chisel grind, dunno if that can be considered as two grinds.
Anyone help to shed some light?
