Hi Sal

I think there is a simple elegance of design in the blade that has one completely flat side. I'd buy one if it was relatively acutely ground and not made of stock too thick (I want a cutter).
 
Like was mentioned, the chisel grind excells because it has a much more acute edge. You can make a thick blade cut very well using this method. the problem is that the edge likes to trail off in the direction of the flat side. To be honest though I probably wouldn't buy it unless it was like a Lum tanto Ti framelock. Then I'd be all over it like flys on... bananas...
 
Word.
OK Sal, that sums it up. Please do a sprint-run of a Spyderco chisel ground folder. :)
call it the Toshi.
 
Sal, please make a friction folder with red g-10 and a chisel ground blade just for Lycosa. :D

The chisel grind is inherently twice as sharp as the double bevel because the final angle is twice as acute.

I change the included angle of my double bevel knives all the time. It is as acute as you want it to be, and it cuts straight no matter which hand you use. :D
 
Hi Sal,


to support lycosa's idea I thought it would be great if the chisel ground knife could look a little something like this with a spyderhole in it.
