this thing is just glorious, it feels fatter than my fattest fatty game warden. And someone has to explain this grind to me, its downright nasty. Its basically a sharp concave grind that takes out a ton of infi and leaves the bottom half of the blade almost paper thin.
Ive never seen such a radical taper on a knife. The spine is a spike but the edge is a thin slicer, unreal.
Hollow Grind?
Yeah they're hollow ground.
DamascusBowie- You're right, it is concave (opposite of convex), but people call it hollow.
So yeah its saber-hollow. And since it goes from so fat to so thin in such a "short" (height) section it would be a "deep-dish" hollow grind.
Damn, my hat is off to you for working it like a boss.Not nececellery Leo. I did it for no actual "money" and I earned airline miles for my trouble. I got a zero fee, no interest 15 month balance transfer that Im paying off with blades I dont keep. This complimentary knife was destined for the exchange because I still have a large balance to actually pay off, but now it looks like I'll be selling some other blades instead. I only got approved for the lower shop credit amount otherwise Id be posting about my gladius right now. although, no complaints, I love this blade and the shop credits were a killer deal that Imhappy to have partaken in. Thanks Jerry!
