Full Flat Grind A flat grind, leaving a completely flat surface ground from the blade’s edge all the way to its’ spine.
Hamaguri Also called an Appleseed or Moran grind. It’s a convex grind made on a slacked belt sander.
Hollow Grind A thin or shallow edge that is ground with a radius, leaving a concave shape above the cutting surface.
Single Bevel Grind Also called a chisel grind. The edge is flat or hollow ground but on only one side.
Spine Swedge Also called a false edge, it’s an edge on the back of the blade’s spine that is chamfered or non-sharpened. The swedge removes weight from the blade adding balance and penetration performance.
