Knife terminology

[eyeeatingfish]

I was wondering if there was a consise page set up somewhere that explains all the terms for the various designs in knife blades.
Clip point, vs. tanto, vs. etc.
Chisel grind, flat gind,
convex edge, bevel etc. Maybe even the benefits and drawbacks of each style
The search bar isnt cooperating with me recently. I know lots of the terms but i tend to forget them and it would be nice if someone had a quick reference page. Thanks

The A.G.Russell http://www.agrussell.com/ Knife Encyclopedia has Articles and Glossary which cover what you're looking for and more.

There are other articles at EDC Knives http://www.edcknives.com/vcom/knife_knowledge.php and at KnifeArt http://www.knifeart.com/knifearticles.html

Another good source is the back of the Spyderco product guide.
