Hello

[Clinton K. Windhorst]

Hello everyone, thanks for adding me. I'm fairly new to collecting knives. I've studied knife anatomy, I'm familiar with different blade styles drop point, clip etc. I'm currently learning about different types of knife steels. What I don't understand is grinds. What is a full flat grind, hollow grind, or saber grind? How can I tell the difference? Thanks

Very new here, how do I get to it from the home screen?

Do a "different blade grinds" google search then hit images.

This is the blog post BK14 was referring to. Give it a look. It's basic but pretty good.

Download the Spyderco catalogue -- there's an excellent page (162) on blade and edge grinds.
