question about grind

What is the difference between "double v grind" and "traditional v grind"? I'm looking the mini commander and the cqc 7a. I've read a lot about sharpening issues, and was wondering if both of these can be sharpened on a sharpmaker without having to do anything "special".

thanks,
Jonathan
 
Long story short, Emersons can't be sharpened on a sharpmaker without adjusting some kind of angle. They all have a chisel edge, which is at about 25 degrees. The Sharpmaker rods are each set at either 15 degrees or 20 degrees.
