Spyderco Ronin information?

[peacefuljeffrey]

The Spyderco Ronin has my curiousity piqued, but nothing I've found clearly states whether this Wharncliffe-style blade is ground on both sides, or just one. Does anybody here know and can say?
Thanks.

Michael Janich's website has lots of information on the Ronin:

To directly answer your question, the original Snody Customs were chisel ground. The Spyderco versions have a full double flat grind.

Thanks, Will.

The fact that they are double ground makes them eligible for me to buy. I typically don't like chisel-ground knives at all. I don't like sharpening them, and I don't like cutting with them.

Buy the Ronin. Don't think about it just do it. It's an awsome piece. Having said that realise that taste differs from person to person and you might not be able to stand looking at it.

At least it won't shock you price-wise like the ATR!

I have a Spyderco/Janich/Snody Ronin

It is ground on both sides NOT a chisel grind.

I have never sharpened it, the damn thing is beyond RAZOR sharp.
Sharpest knife I have ever seen.

The fact that it is not chisel ground sold me on it.

The Snody custom version is chisel ground.

Check Janich's web site GREAT carry tips and info.
