Hi folks. The first picture on Kershaw's site of the Skyline shows a flat grind like the BFC knife. The other images they provide show the hollow grind. Is this an update I missed?

ALL of the Skylines are hollow grind except for the BFC Edition, which is Flat Grind. That's just probably an old picture and they forgot to change it while making their new site.
 
There are a ton of pictures of the flat ground Skyline on the interwebs. I think it was a prototype or something that they took photos of and they just propagated across the web.

Kinda strange they accidentally used just one on their own product page, eh?
 
I like the look of the flat ground blades because you get that curve on the blade from the grind. Also I think they slice a tiny bit better. But for a user knife, like the skyline, I prefer hollow. As you wear the knife down the bevel stays narrow.

Kinda ironic seeing as I only own one Skyline; the flat ground BFC. :D
