My thought is if you make the hollow grind thick enough to take the impact it would see in competition... there's no point to hollow grind

The s grind can in a sense prevent some of the stick of a v grind while keeping strength

But I'm stupid and usually know nothing about what I post lol

p.s I love hollow grinds

My thought is the edge might become too thin with nothing to reinforce it

Had (still have, somewhere...) a Buckmaster from back in the 80s. Thick SOB with a hollow grind. Sliced well for about the first 0.5" - 1", and after that, the thick blade would bind. Same thing (even worse) when chopping or batoning.

***The saw on the Buckmaster, was one of the least effective sawbacks ever put on a knife. It didn't saw very well. It ripped wood, and not particularly effectively either. The 3" saw on my Swiss Army Knife could handily beat it (the saw on a Victorinox is amazingly effective).

What can I say, I fell for the hollow handled Rambo knife craze, too. 😅
