Yea, I wouldn't trust that guy too quicky. He had a pretty good meltdown here a while back and was eventually banned for his unstable behavior. Happy reading.

"Scandi grind" is an artificial concept. Scandinavian knives often have a sabre grind with no secondary bevel, but in actual use, get a microbevel put on to strengthen the edge.

Scandi grind is no more an artificial concept than sabre grind.

The most interesting thing about Scandi grinds is that they sprouted a lore that led to the design becoming highly esteemed as being somehow uniquely suited to bushcraft. Probably due to Mors Kochanski and his promotion of the cheap Mora knife. But what became the "Scandi grind", associated with Mora knife construction, started out as the cheapest, quickest way to put an edge on a piece of steel from a manufacturing point of view. Which is one of the reasons Kochanski advocated the Mora: it was cheap.

So for the OP, if you want a REAL SCANDI!!!!!!! knife, have you considered a Mora knife?

Pretty sure it has more to do with the grind being around for 1000 years that we know of and probably longer yet. The grind is used for crafting wood because it works extremely well at it. Has nothing to do with hype or an agenda by bushmen as it seems you hint at.

Mora is a good choice but I have found they grind them thick. If medium to light wood working is the goal then there are several Puukko style blades with more nimble scandi grinds like Hultafors or Kellam.

Moras tends to have a slight hollow grind. The mora 137 seems to be a true scandi though. At least the one I have.

You do realize that Moras, the most ubiquitous knives with so-called "scandi grinds" have a slightly hollow grind and almost all of their outdoor knives have a microbevel applied at the factory? Just some food for thought. The term is really something of a misnomer as it's not exclusive to Scandinavia and isn't even the norm on knives there.

Thanks for all the feed back, to tired to type anything else, damn 16 hour day.

As FTB said, the "scandi grind" as it's considered today is actually not that common in Fennoscandic peninsula. In addition, if you chat with a smith it's more likely to hear talking about hollow, flat and convex grind rather than scandi.

I have 30+ nordic knives, both factory made and custom, and I've seen a flat grind taken to 0 only on three (reprofiled Lauri blades). The few others taken to 0 are either very slightly convex or hollow, while the majority are a combination of a grind and a tiny microbevel.

I can make you a list of examples if you want.

As for the age of the modern scandi grind I can say that way back to Dark Age bevels were made freehand on stones and, later, on circular wheels. In either cases you don't get a perfectly flat surface.
