Some help about 'secondary bevels' please!

[IJ55]

I have used the search function to no avail, so I throw it out to you all.

I have found a beautiful stunning knife that says it is scandi grind with a secondary bevel. Could any one help me out here? because I am familiar with convex / hollow / scandi I have never heard of a secondary on a scandi grind.

All help appreciated.

Here is the knife in question.

Chances are it's a secondary microbevel, more than a secondary bevel like you find on full flat and hollow ground knives. Do a search on "Is your Mora too sharp?" (IIRC) and you'll find a thread on them by Robin Wood.

It's basically just an extremely small bevel that's put there to aid in edge retention without sacrificing much cutting ability - and they do it extremely well, all my knives have them (except my carving knife) and rarely need any sharpening other than stropping. Mora Clippers have them as standard, as do E Jonsson Moras IIRC.

That's my guess anyway

Here's the thread fellas...

EDIT: For some reason the URL doesn't change when I go to that page.

Just search for 'mora secondary' and it's the 10th one down by Robin Wood.

Cheers prophecy.

appreciate the link. Will go have a read - because if a secondary is all good, I am having one of those EnZo knives.
