Thanks VW,

What is ment by the "main edge" and "a convex grind", how is that put on?

Fred

what is restoring the bevel? is it the angle of the edge?

Thanks for all the great answers and comments. I tend to like my flat grind knives a bit more. Chinese folder Swiss army but i would love to see a wegner style flat but i guess if it is inteded for skinning hollow grind is better.

FTK

I was wondering what are the advantages/disadvantages a hollow ground blade vs. a flat ground blade?



FTK

I just picked up a Shabaria from SMKW and it is really pretty great. The first thing I noticed was that the blade was much longer that it looked opened that it did when closed when you open it seams to erupt from it handle. The hump gives the impression that it ends much earlier that it actually doe...

I was thinking about getting one. can anybody tell me what they think about it? How well does it work as an evey day carry?



Thanks



FTK

i was wondering if anybody could tell me about this new lock? how it compairs to the others streagth wize, one handness and witch other spykies might it come out on?



thanks

i'm sure it is the ultimate SD knife but i bet i could used it as the UP (Ulitmate Picnic) knife. i also like the idea of the best UD knife being used for cutting cheese to go with merlot.

I just saw a photo of this janich/snody knife and i thought i would be perfect as a picnic knife for cutting cheese, sausage and the like. the blade would make flat contact with the cutting board. the flat grind is great for cutting food. this size seems right for picnic basket carry. does anybody e...

Does anybody know where i could get one like this? i think the PE with SS handles is not longer in prodtion



FTK

i think it looks great does anybody know were to find a PE one.

i agree with joe's break down of knives but i might add for fixed blades the temperance looks alot like a chef's knife. flat grind and so forth. i don't think it is as robust as the moran but very food "preppy" looking.

i just looked at the CAMILLUS TALON and i too like the design of it. it seems very utilatrain and simple.

FTK

i would agree with j. smith. how ever i have both a 40/60 wegner and a p.e. and i really love them. i do wish there was a flat ground version. but as i belive it was designed for sinning i think thoughs knives tend to be hollow ground, so as not to cut to deep. i could be wrong on this. i know are l...

i use my index finger it works really well on my full sixe wegner. very fast deply. i like the snap it makes.

FTK

i too love the lum chineese folder. i have a pe that i carry all the time.

FTK

BT--
i just checked out there web page and oddly it seem like a legitmate organization. i moved back to new jersey form new haven, a moth ago. it i get one of these may be we should pay them a "new jersey" visit in person.

FTK

thanks every body i was hoping it was a flat grind.
