what kind of grind does this knife have

It is a double bevel flat grind right now. I have sharpened it on a WorkSharp so not sure about bevel but it came with a flat grind.

If the gear in question is what does the grinding it appears to be ceramic. Don't know where there are any gears in this thing.

Its a saber grind with what looks like a 20 degree second bevel. Hope this helps.

It's one solid slab of steel with micarta scales. It's a lot of fun to play with and it feels nice in the hand. I can't speak to it's actual usability but I have other knives for that sort of thing

They have a tapered grind edge, with a slight angle at the tip of the knife, I have these and have had no problems sharpening them, I love all my Chicago Cutlery. You cant go wrong for the money.

Answer here..I'm not familiar with sabre grinds, but I don't think is a "full flat grind" like the Spyderco Military and my Bark River Knives Custom Skinner has. It's mostly flat but has a definite angle at the edge. Gets very sharp and maintains edge none-the-less.

The grinding mechanism is steel, the housing is steel with an acrylic window to see the contents. There is not a grind coarseness setting.

Like the others have said, mine is a full flat grind. The only thing I'm not really that crazy about is the finish--it has a feel similar to sand paper. I'm new to this kind of finish, so I'm not truly sure what the advantages of this are. You can always sand it down with fine grit sand paper, or remove it with some paint stripper if you so desire.

Fair. Has a nice uniform grind. I have a stropp for a 1 x 30 grinder and that made it really good. My problem with it is the difficulty getting it out of the sheath with one hand. If that is not a criteria, then its a good buy.

Yes, it is a blade grinder. I love this grinder. The grind is perfect. Great grinder for the money.

Since I don't have both, your guess is as good as mine. Perhaps it is just about the fine blade, which I doubt I'd use anyway. The one I purchased has two blades, a coarse and a medium. Mine is entirely made of metal and built to last. I would never waste my money on a plastic grinder.

It is some type of stainless steel. Different than the SCHF9 which is a high carbon steel. Both well made extremely strong knives. Only down side is difficult to sharpen due to curve of the blade. Scrade just came out with a new improved model for around the same price with even better options like an included diamond stone and flin and steel. I highly recommend buying the SCHF38 instead.

It's a full flat grind like the trailmaster by cold steel. Great knife in my opinion. Sheath is acceptable. So worth the money. Amazing beater knife you won't be afraid to use cause it wasn't expensive.

this knife has a 3/4 tang. It is not a full tang but has a reputation for durability.

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

I don't know. I bought it a long time ago and it was such GARBAGE that I just tossed it into the trash. It was not worth another ten dollars to ship it back the the con artists who sold it to me. It looks great in the box and in the pictures but when you try to grind anything, no matter how small or how large, the stuff to be ground just falls out of the front of it and NOTHING gets ground at all. It was a bad joke.
