Convex, Scandi, Axe

[MikeC]

I know what a full flat or V grind is, I also know what a hollow grind or semi hollow grind is. Could someone please define a convex, scandi and axe grind for me? What applications are these 3 grinds best suited for?

Thanks

an axe grind is how axes are ground that one shouldnt need explaining

#3 is a little confusing but that's what a scandi grind is... a saber grind with no secondary.
