What to know when grinding a scandi blade?

[peripatew]

I've noticed that this isn't the most popular style, but I was curious if there is anything difficult about grinding it? Is there a general angle that people use? Anything else to know about it?

There is a subforum there called Scandinavian blades. Lots of info.

There was also a thread a little while back (on this forum) discussing scandi grinds.

I would definately say its more difficult to grind than the more common geometries. Some swear by scandi, but I think generally there are more cons than pros for this type of edge.
