This is interesting

The "official" definition of "Scandi Grind," as formulated largely by the non-Scandinavian members of BritishBlades and BushcraftUK, requires a saber grind with no secondary bevel.

That definition has no power beyond creating a definition of code words. "Scandi Grind" means . . . .

On the other paw, a "Scandi" could be any knife made in the Scandinavian style, which includes mostly knives not made according to the "official" definition of "Scandi Grind." Could be a full flat or full convex grind with a small secondary bevel (Falkniven). Could be diamond cross section with a fuller and convex edge (IIaskki). Could be a saber grind with a secondary bevel (Helle and Hackman, to name just a couple of many). In fact, so many sbaer-ground Scandinavian knives have a secondary bevel that the "official" folks have had to "forgive" those makers so as not to look slightly silly ("It's only a micro bevel.").

Nice Scandi, Guyon.

LMAO. But true actually. I have one made by a fellow in Sweden and it's hollow ground

But of course I was referring to the so called offical version.

I have two (off eBay) by "Trond," the former mod of the BritishBlades Scandinavian Forum. Both are high hollow-grinds (He says that's what a grinding wheel does best.) with a secondary bevel. Guess he didn't get "The Word."
