Tommy I apologise ! I have looked on the Alan Wood site, and yes I was wrong, they do come with a slightly hollow grind,(or at least his early knives did, and he is still basically producing the same knife) It's just that it looks different to any other Ray Mears/Alan Wood I have seen, even Ray's own knife has a flat grind when he sharpens it on his TV programmes.
Samon, the reason I thought it had been on a bench grinder is that it looks like a scandi grind that has been on a grinder,even the 'plunge' cut at the handle end is much more curved than others I have seen, Suggesting a worn grinding wheel with rounded edges, But now I know its a hollow grind that has been on flat stones that will explain the shape as well.
Anyway, as Johnboy said 'Its up to a potential buyer to make a call on if the item is ok for them or a fair price' so I was probably wrong to question & comment on it in the first place.
Please accept my apologies.
