I started to appreciate hollow grinds. I used to have the full flat mania b4:o.

So what knives have full or really high hollow grind?
Production and custom?
 
Kershaw nrg's are as good as full, so are the buck vantage's (also look at the spyderco manix 2, not really high but a great slicer)
 
I believe Spyderco's new Gayle Bradley has a pretty high, hollow grind. The spyder hole can make it look deceiving, but if it was a normal blade with a stud, it would be about full height...

I always wished my s30v native had a higher hollow grind, but to be honest, I can't expect it to cut much better than it already does :D
 
Case knives commonly have a full hollow grind. The Mini Blackhorn and Caliber models can be had inexpensively. Their Sodbusters are popular around here.
 
I also recommend the Buck Vantage Pro. It has a high hollow grind which makes the edge pretty thin and is a great slicer. The pro has a Bos heat treated S30V blade which is very similar to the much pricier Buck Mayo TNT at a very reasonable $50 street price.

The Buck Omni Hunter fixed blade. I have the 12pt in black. Its made to be a hunting knife but it is great for carving(not for whittling,too big and cumbersome) because it takes large shavings out of wood. It is a very sharp knife and it holds an edge well.:)
 
From the knives i know of (several years retail & wholesale) certain older Klötzli fixed blades have the deepest hollow grinds i've ever seen.

This is one of them, it has a blade thickness of 5 or 6 mm and an almost full hollow grind.
