explaination of "grinds"

[Bonzo Frog]

Hi All,

You'll have to excuse my ignorance on this one but can anybody explain the difference between the different knife grinds and the advantages or disadvantages of them? Or point me to a thread I've missed.

I had a look on the search option but I couldn't really answer my question. I've been comtemplating getting a knife for a while now just for general bushcraft and I've just ordered a Frosts carbon from the shop as this seems to be a good comprimise for the time being.

Thanks in advance,

Dave

British Red did a great piece on sharpening that explains the various grinds.

Nope Stuart has it here:

Also this sticky at the top of the edged tools forum has some diagrams of each grind in post #16 by Stuart
