Long live the hollow grind!

It makes a nice change to the standard micarta you see.

Why am I not surprised to hear that ...

I normally don't post pics of my Busse knives any more because of some personal issues but I reckon one itty bitty pic won't matter.

Here are a couple blades I tested for carving hardwood. I used a 1 inch hardwood dowel for the test. One is a convex grind, one is a hollow grind. The chips were longer and thicker for the convex-ground blade.

Other than the grind, the blades were identical. They are D2 and were ground and heat treated by Bob Dozier.
