Blade grinds... Chuck, CJ, or Joe?

I was reading old threads arguing about blade grinds, particularly on the 110s. Points of contention included the "real" definition of a hollow grind. Some defined it as a concave taper. Others said the blade narrowed from the spine downwards, to widen slightly just above the edge grind. I've seen this referred to a "semi-hollow" grind on the older models. They also argued about the reasons for the change seen in newer models, from ease of user sharpening to ease of manufacture. So here are my questions...

1. Does Buck use different terms for the variation in grinds on the older v. newer 110s?

2. Why the change from "semi-hollow" grind to the current blade geometry?

Regards,
Tim
