I have a couple of Striders but, being a tech newbie, I don't understand that "nightmare" grind. What's the purpose - function wise?

the ultimate in cutting and strength, hollow ground belly and flat ground tip, I think and it looks damn cool.

What is a Nightmare Grind?
A Nightmare grind is actually a combination of a hollow grind, flat grind and upper swedge grind.
The hollow grind is on the belly of the knife and the tip is a flat grind for strength. The hollow grind typically meets with an upper
swedge grind and at this point there is a triangle the complete thickness of the blade. This triangle has been nicknamed the “Triangle of Doom”.

Mick Strider once said that a certain knife was a nightmare to grind and the term stuck.
