New Strider blade grinds?

[knerd]

I've noticed Strider has started doing 3/4 hollow grinds on a few of their knives, does anyone have any experience with them? I'm curious to hear if they slice better than their full flat grinds.

Yes, I have a SmF-T RW-1.



Slicing has more to do with edge geometry than the blade grind.

In other words they come with a 22.5 degree angle or about 45 degree edge from Strider so if you change the angle to 15 degrees or 30 degrees total it will slice better.

I sharpen my Striders so they have a 40 degree edge and they slice great, yes even the full flat grinds.

I sure hope this isn't going to turn into another one of those thick blades don't slice threads because that is just not true.
