It looks alright to me... what kind of grind? Looks like a double bevel, and I presume, hollow ground?

I’m not entirely sure about grind types. The back of the blade is just under 5mm. This then reduces in a concave profile to the edge (about 1mm deep), which is flat. Hope that helps.

My advice at the £50 mark is always a Helle Harding. I always consider other knives but this knife so far has been unbeatable at that price point.

As with all things, my opinions may not be the same as other peoples, try before you buy, if you buy one and don't like it, don't blame me blah blah blah :lmao:

I do like the Helle Harding, I made one with a cocobolo handle, the blade is a good size and as with most of the steel you get from that region it keeps an edge pretty well and is pretty robust.

The major problem that you will find is that at the £50 area it is always going to be awkward as there are a lot of very good knives that have been manufactured in this price range.

yes, a shocking number of knives... to my mind it's also about the point you start asking "is this 5 times better than a clipper?".
