I'm confused... (definition help please)

Not that that will surprise anybody, however...

On the LE knives, they are described as having a "zero edge". Could someone explain that to me? Surely they don't come unsharpened at all.

Thanks in advance.

zero edge means there is no distinct seperate grind toward the sharpened edge. it is a gradual grind from the spine, instead of two, or three, separate grinds.

Ah, so...

Thanks.

AND LE's don't come with this grind. Only the series that came with a zero edge was the Zero Tolerance knives.

I thought the Satin Jack LE was zero edge? No?

i believe the sjtacle had a convex/zero type grind, as will the batacle

Thanks! I'd thought the BATAC was going to be flat ground.... Always learn new things around here....:thumbup:

Full height flat grind according to the Boss... Looks to lead down to a symmetrically ground edge.
