I had an Emerson knife a while back with a chisel grind and I could not cut straight with it to save my life. I came to understand that this is inherent to the chisel grind and is actually useful for skinning type chores. (should have done my homework before purchasing). Now I know.
I don't have need for a chisel grind but a knife I am very interested in happens to have a chisel grind.
So my question is: would the blade stock thickness effect the amount of movement when cutting something like an apple for example.
The Emerson was very thick and the knife I am considering is thin at 0.06 thickness. I wonder is the much thinner blade would mean significantly less movement when slicing.
And BTW the knife I am looking at is the Strider Zipper Skinner Neck Knife so if anyone has one and can comment on the chisel grind on it that would be great as well. Thanks!
