Well, I started looking at pics to point out, and it appears that the newer AFCKs have lower grinds than the old ones, though they're still higher than the 350. Still killed part of my point, though

Anyway...
Here's the 350:

It's 1/8" thick. Look where the thickest part of the blade is. Right in the middle. From there the blade is ground in a V down to the edge. What determines how well a knife cuts (ignoring blade shape and all that stuff, and assuming a flat ground blade, which I
think all BMs are) is the thickness of the edge, and the material behind the edge. The lower that grind is, and closer to the edge, the more obtuse the angle, and the worse it cuts. The higher the grind, and greater distance from the edge, the better it cuts, because by the time it gets to the edge, it's thinner..
Think aerodynamics.
That's a pretty general way of looking at it, I know, and if you're not cutting thick or binding materials, it may never matter one bit to you, but the blade grind is the first thing I look at, since I'm obsessed with all this knife stuff
