Asymmetrical Edge Grind
part of this outstanding performance is probably do to the asymmetrical edge grind. the left edge is more steeply ground than the right edge, resulting in a semi-chisel grind. i have no idea how greg arrived at this grind, or knew that it would perform as it does - it seems counterintuitive to me- but i suppose that's the reason he's a master knifemaker and i'm just a knife user.





*i tried to find if the grind was mentioned in *earlier issues of* tactical knives, but theres a lot of posts, and dual word searches dont work on my comp for some reason... did find some interesting posts during the search though...*

Who wrote this article in TK?

Thanks

They can write 10,000 books about the things TK mag doesn't know about knives. That magazine these days is only fit to be used as emergency toilet paper.:barf:

I'd be more likely to attribute this to poor quality control than design in this case, but perhaps not...

i invented that edge whilst grinding my benchmade into a useless screwdriver. send me your knives and i will turn them all to chisels:barf:

im sure that most the writers for tactical knives have a lot of other things in their lives along with the release time restraint... buuuuut.... while i couldnt name any other knife makers who have used an asymetrical grind, or any history off it....

i could find info on it within about 45 seconds on google...

tactical knives has nice pictures

in pretty well any area of expertise - forums, newsgroups, word of mouth and other direct communication routes will be the best source for information, that said, tactical knives is the only main stream publication that i can pick up at my local news/magazine shop about knives that i like reading. i dont expect to read good unbiased comparisons of knives or steels or edges, its just a nice set of knives and products to look at with the general info provided, that i otherwise probably would have never looked at.

i dont expect to see handamerican in it any time soon, or any of the smaller makers like peter atwood (god... i need to get a better job...), but its still worth 5 bucks for something to flip through when im board for a month... (better then reading the same times magazine 26 times over)
