Is this knife flat grind or hollow grind?

I do not know the answer and I did not see it listed on the Cold Steel website. What I do know is that it is one outstanding small game knife, great pack knife. I used it all season on pheasant, grouse, rabbit and squirrels and it still has the same incredible sharp edge.

. It features a broad VG-1 San Mai III blade that's been flat ground to achieve the ideal blade cross-section and edge geometry. Carefully honed to razor sharpness, its edge cuts effortlessly while its dropped point simplifies the chore of field dressing and skinning.

Bill:Yes, this has hollows on both sides of the blade. It is a wonderful blade, but it needs to sharpened frequently.

It's conical. It look like a flat wheel grinder but the teeth are on the edges at a taper, thus making it a form of conical burr. A wheel burr grinder would have the teeth on the flat surfaces between the wheels.

It has a conical burr that is some kind of grey stone. Mine cracked at a little part of the burr (where it attaches to the 'drive shaft') and a little flake broke off and got caught in the grind. I fished it out and it works fine. You can set the grind however you want, I do coarse and the mechanism locks in place so the grind is consistent. Hope his help!

No Mike, It has a flat grind to a secondary bevel. The secondary bevel is easily convexed in about 15 minutes with a 400 grit diamond plate. the main thing i would stress is that the supplied sheath is unsuitable for use with a sharpened blade. for carry, the sheath should be replaced with a leather or plastic sheath, as the nylon sheath it comes with is unlined and extremely flimsy. There are any number of good vids on youtube about fabrication of a pvc scabbard.

It is listed as a "high ground" (not 'hollow' or 'flat'), but can be compared to a "modified scandi grind". This just means that the angle of the Scandi grind has been lowered, raising the bevel closer to the spine of the knife. If this bevel goes all the way to the edge (and has no secondary bevel or micro bevel), it is an excellent edge retaining profile.

this knife is not hollow ground, its a saber grind. its a pretty good knife. S30v steel is pretty good, not great.

To reinforce Ron's answer. It is ceramic. Many high-quality manual coffee grinders also use ceramic burrs.

Hello Brian,Not sure what the difference between the two. The one I bought is fantastic for the price. Very sturdy construction, and is adjustable grind settings. Still going strong.

The knives' handles are solid but flat rather than rounded. They have a nice weight to them. There is a serrated edge for cutting throught meat nicely.

Smooth, if I remember correctly. It's at a thrift store now. Couldn't grind fennel with it at all. However I'm not awfully strong.

Not sure of the edge angle, but the one I received was not a saber grind it is a full flat. S30V is fantastic steel and Spyderco goes does it really well.

I don't think it is hollow ground since it is handmade but is thick robust and has a taper to the cutting edge. It is reasonably sharp but not a paper cutter.

Definitely a saber grind. Full spine than grind starts in the middle and flat grinds at the edge.

I think they are flat grind. I use a steel to touch up the edges and it works great. The Four Star line is good for everyday use by most people. I'm no chef but I can debone a pork shoulder and slice it before I need to touch up the edge. Hope this helps...

My knife has a curved blade....I liked it so well I bought another for our second home.model seems to read 5.6603.15..don't know if the curve is a big deal or not.

It is single sided, perfectly flat, evenly coated, and is heavy due to being made from steel. I lapped all of my honing stones with it and now my tools and razors are truly sharp!
