Why that grind if......

Not sure what your agenda is here. Not just this thread but overall here. I went back to see how much of a noob you were in your early days and it seems your time here has transformed you from experienced based to falling in line with the Internet experience folks.

I've been thinking about the Gransfors mini a lot too. The one smaller than the Wildlife. Even though it weighs about 12oz, I'm sure it could out chop my Gerber that weighs a half a pound more.

You said that. Why would you say it? Maybe you knew something about thin edges chopping better, even if the fat edge weighed more. Seems you have some explaining to do because you don't appear to be a noob when you first got here. It appears you are just trolling me. So troll away. Or converse in a constructive manner. You've said in the past what I'm saying now.

Grow up dude.
 
Everyone's entitled to their own opinions. Convex splits better then hollow grind Boris and there is nothing you can do about it. ;)

I literally don't know what you're talking about. I've said in this thread that thin edges are better. Same as I said back then. I'm just gonna walk away.:eek:

That's the interesting thing though, I don't think Boris is trolling. He legitimately believes he's dropping knowledge bombs on us all!

I read somewhere that Professor Steven Hawking consults him before making any statement.....


EDIT: found it

 
I love the 1095 in that blade too. Perfect heat treat on it. Holds the edge fantastic. Just took about 3 minutes of my time to restore it to razor sharp. In my opinion, it's the best super steel being made today. Tear up that opinion right there, your one track you're wrong posts are getting boring. But tie it into the OP so we keep it on track.[/QUOTE]

Actually I think Hawking's is the one that told Boris that 1095 IS A "SUPER STEEL".

Whats the point of different grinds if people are going to put the same edge on all their knives? Let's say i have a saber grind, scandi grind and a flat grind, then put convex edges on all them. Am i missing something or do i have no clue what am talking about?

SethO, the different blade grinds dictate the use of the knife as do the edge grinds but they are not mutually inclusive. If you are using a knife for heavy work, you will design your edge for that purpose. If you are using it as a filet knife, you design the edge for that purpose. Then anything in between. Similarly the blade design, sabre, hollow, convex, flat, gives you different aspects of performance.
 
I realize I went off point, after going over your original post. So I'll correct myself here & now. Grinds should be tailored to a knifes main task. It should make cutting & or chopping easier. The edge can be optimized for a task as well. Reguardless of size, I enjoy V edge for slicing cuts. And convex for push cuts & chopping. But seeing as the edge only makes up to 15% (on average) of overall blade surface. You can follow your own preferences & enjoy the knife as is. But playing around with the different edge types could give you a more enjoyable knife.

That seemed more coherent, so I'll leave it at that.

A pencil sharpener makes the best shavings to make tinder, but we manly woods men don't use school kid tools to make fire, just big clunky knives.

This assumes you have sticks of small and uniform enough diameter to allow said sharpener to work.

but then again...does said sharpener have a scandi, 2/3rd flat or a chisel grind?

You don't bring pencil sized dowels with you? What kind of woodsman are you:D

And I believe (at least my Kum automatic two step long point) sharpeners are chisel.

I have four trees in my front yard. Took 30 seconds to find these, in the dark.

After 45 seconds had passed I had this, including the time it took to dig out the phone to take the pic.

The forest floor is littered with twigs. Assuming someone goes into the woods, these things are easy to find, if you aren't blind.

Oh, and the grind is a real low saber or scandi. No secondary or micro bevels.
