Can't comment on the grind 'cause I don't know anything, but I can say it's an inspiration. Very, very nice.

Maybe it is the photos, but is that a Scandi grind?
Looks nice anyway.

Looks good, but correct me if I am wrong. I think the scandi grind should go up a little higher. It does look good and clean though. I am trying my first one now with two blades I am working on.

Stacy, the photos are not the best but it is a scandi ground blade. I ground it at 17 degrees, the stock is 5/32 thick so it does not go up that far.
