Hamaguri vs convex edge

[knife chop]

I want to know what's the difference between these to grinds. Are they the same Grind?

same thing, different language.

I thought so. I wonder why can't black heart knives just say convex edge. They had to make it confusing.

Hehehe...I just got it! They are calling it that because of the curvature of the edge is similar to the clamshell. I always wondered why that terminology was used because it made me think of a soup I eat. Now it makes sense!

NO they are two different kinds of grinds.

A Harigami/Clamsheel edge is on a chisel ground knife. One sided edge.
A Convex is a 50/50 ground knife. Two sided edge. That's the big difference.

That looks even more like what I eat!

From what I have seen, the hamaguri generally refers to a full convex (also called an appleseed grind), and convex generally refers to a convexed edge. All of the hamaguri grinds I have seen were pretty chunky, while most full convex american knives I have seen are more akin to a full flat that rounds off.

Now that I've read your response I realized that I answered incorrectly. For some reason I had chisel grind in my mind.

Actually convex can be done on a chisel edge.
