This thread really needs to specify if they are talking about FIXED blades or FOLDERS, this is the thin red line for me, i like a convex fixed blade on ALL my fixed blades but all my folders are FFG or Hollow, really to me doesnt make a huge difference unless im using the folder to cut something like an apple i choose FFG everytime. Hollow grind to me is only a personal added (not needed) preference, no need for it IMO. Some people will sware by it but iv NEVER found myself using a FFG knive thinking, "man I sure with this was a hollow grind" < Never happened, not once. but thats just me.
The thing with a hollow grind is that you can have a thicker spine for added strenght and it can still slice well.
