Battle Mistress confusion

foo that one looks convexed on both sides.

The assymetrical edge is extremely sharp inspite of it being ugly. It is akin to making a chisel blade where one side is flat and the other is either v-ground or convexed except that in this case it is just the edge that is sort of chisel ground.. The advantage is that it is strong and sharp all at once. A chisel grind is half the angle of a regular grind.

Well, I thank you all for the info! Today I bought, from a member here, a CGFBM that included a nice leather sheath and another FBMLE with kydex on another forum!
After paying for them, I sat down to a bowl of Rice Krispies to celebrate! All I heard was "Snap - Crackle - CHOP" after pouring the milk in!
This thread was educational for me and expensive!

So I now have a Tiger/Satin GW, a Tan/Satin Boney Active Duty, a Snakeskin/ Black Groovemaster, a Urban Grey FBMCG and a Tiger/Satin FBMLE.

Been a very expensive day today buying two FBM's!

OINK!

Ah, but with one "swell foop" you demonstrate your great taste ... and become a true "player" on the knife scene.

Not bad for a day, eh?

And when that urban grey finally looks too worn ... strip and sand ... instant Satin.

She has an asymmetric edge... :thumbup:

The asymmetric cutting edge has been around a long time...
Most bulk paper cutters use an asymmetric edge on their blades.
One thing is you can get a straight cut thru a deep stack,
but also it is more efficient for them because they have to sharpen
it a lot less.
