Huck grind

[Ndocyk]

I understand the new huck has the corrugated bevel technology but that is the actual grind? Flat.... Convex.... Could someone shed some light on this?

Looks like Full Flat Grimd with CBT. Edge would probably be a V

Almost every cbt model is flat saber primary grind. The unground saber portion of the blank between cbt milling & spine is where the infi dimples will remain back to the ricasso/handle/butt.
Compare:

Full flat primary grind (meaning ALL the way to the spine) non-cbt stripper ASHBM

vs

Saber convex primary grind cbt stripper Battlesaw

Thanks for the info. So the battle saws are cbt convex?

What's the advantage of CBT? What does it do performance-wise?

Reduces friction's force on the blade- from what I understand.

Great pics! I bet SHBM will out chop the Battle Saw by a good margin.

Primarily reducing weight without giving up resistance to bending in the long axis. Think of an I-beam compared to a solid bar of the same exterior dimensions.

Yes. Lose the weight, keep the strength.



Another advantage is it is downright menacing. Trees fall over on their own, bad guys run away with a full load in their pants.

CBT + Competition Finish is an extremely cool combo.

And don't forget it just plain looks bad ass.

Agreed

Here is a site that will give some good info on edges. The convex IMO is the best for choppers. The convex allows the blade to be behind the edge therefore you get a full transference of energy behind the edge. Swinging a compound edge displaces the energy from the first angle to the second angle. I know it sounds like a lot about nothing but in actuality there is a discernible difference. ****BUT**** any and all cutting is relative to the item( hard wood, soft wood or whatever) your cutting, keep that in mind also.
