Let's see your chisel grinds.

Chisel ground knives are a very old style of knife and actually make wicked cutters

The late great Phill Hartsfield popularized this style and in fact turned Emerson on to them

I’ve been eding Chisel ground Hartsfield’s for well over 3 decades

A chisel grind topic without mentioning the universal and world-legal brand most well-known to both knife and non-knife people? Really? :eek:

Never thought about the serrated edges on SAKs being a chisel grind. Other than a couple SAKs with serrated edges/blades, the only chisel ground knives I own are CRKT Razels. I own three of them.
 
I could take a long time typing an explanation but instead I'll tell you why I prefer it.

Making chisel grind only keeps my orders down. That allows me to complete most knives in under a month. I'm always carrying between 5-10+ orders at any given time. Anything more would become overwhelming.
 
Also i find with just a slight adjustment in cutting technique I have no issue with the blade pulling to one side in a cut.

Infact in some cases chises grinds can do even more precise cuts than v grinds because you can get the flat side right against the line you wish to cut along.
