What are the different types of grinds?
There are three basic grind types. Hollow Grind – Created by grinding against a wheel. The wheel creates a curved grind where the curve goes into the blade. Flat grind – Created by grinding against a flat platen on a grinder or by filing. The sides of the blade are flat but angled towards the edge. And end view of a flat ground blade would look like the letter V. Convex grind – Convex grind is the opposite of the hollow grind. This grind is created by grinding on a slack part of the belt on the grinder creating a slow curve from the spine to the cutting edge.
