I just wondered......is it me or does the D3 have a grind that goes higher and gets really close to the hole?
Of the D4's that I have almost all of them are about 1/8" or 5/16" below the hole. Of all the D3's that I have (or have had) the grind goes within like a millimeter or 1/16" of the hole. Some of my D4's just seem that they go from edge to full blade width in like about 3/8".
I only recently started noticing this because my PE D4 bound up cutting some cardboard. So I grab a new D4 right out of the box to see if maybe my current user is in need of sharpening, and it binds up too. Even though the Para-Military has a thicker blade it just rips right through without binding. Same with my SS Dragonfly (this goes without saying).
I don't cut a lot of cardboard so this is why I am just now noticing this. :)
