Cold Steel says the Wild West Bowie has a saber grind, which is preferable in such a knife. Many reviewers have clearly stated that the Bowie knife has a clear hollow grind. Most of those reviews are 2 years old. I have not seen "recent" reviews that clarify the grind type. I've been wondering if Cold Steel change the grind type to a flat or saber grind. If anyone has purchased a Wild West Bowie in the past year, I'd appreciate clarification on the grind type.
 
I bought mine last month.

It looks like a saber grind but not as definite as the old Carbon V Recon Tanto or SRK but also not an obvious hollow grind like the Master/Magnum Tanto series or Taipan.

I just checked it by putting a measuring tape across the grind and on one side the blade from the top of the grind to the edge seems straight but on the other side there is a gap, which would indicate a very shallow hollow grind.
