favorite hollow grind?
i was just wondering what spyder (or non-spyder) is your favorite HG and why. also, speaking of hollow ground knives, how much with the Yo2 be streetpriced for?
I would say that my favorite hollow grind is on the Gayle Bradley. It adds an 'old world' sort of class to a blade and yet yields great performance.
Regards, Al

Massad Ayoob hands down
My favorite Spyderco hollow grind blade is without a doubt my Spyderco Massad Ayoob SE model. Even my Massad Ayoob PE just seems to cut better for some reasons.
Interesting that you start this thread because I've noticed myself that not all hollow grinds are created equal. But the curvature of the Ayoob blade is awesome and I'm glad they at least made a Sprint run of it so everyone of the new folks would get a chance to see what an awesome design it is.

Rock Salt. I have really enjoyed using that knife!
In the folder world, it would be the Michael Walker.
For modified Spydercos, it is a toss up between my reground Jess Horn in ZDP189 and my Vesuvius which was also reground.
Outside of Spyderco would be the Dozier K-35 Gentleman's knife. I really dig that one.
