What is your favorite blade grind?

[deerhunterp]

I had maybe 80 hollow grind knives before I got my first flat ground blade, and I really want to go out and get more!

PS, I also like the Scandinavian grind!

Flat ground and high ground sabre blades are my favorite.

 

[A.P.F.]

Hollow sabre, followed by a full flat grind.

Forgive my ignorance, but what is a sabre grind?

full flat grind goes from edge to spine - saber grind only goes halfway.
both of these have a secondary bevel.
scandi grind is similar to saber, only not as far up the blade and no secondary bevel.

I prefer flat grinds, i don't mind sabers - especially on thin stock, and I'm a great fan of the scandi, because it's so easy to keep the angle.

Deep or high hollow and full flat. Both get the edge very thin which = good slicer.

Full flat. I like the looks and performance of a FFG blade. I wish Benchmade and Spyderco would have more of them.

 

[D1omedes]

FFG for me. I have yet to utilize a convex or scandi ground yet, however.
