There must be at least five types of grinds for blades.
There is the flat grind, followed by the hollow grind. Then there are others.
What type of grind is best for normal use? And what type of grind is the easiest as far as maintenance is concerned?
Is there any particular grind favoured by custom makers?
I understand that different grinds achieve different cutting results.
Normally, collectors just buy knives for their design and other variables like handle material and blade types. I reckon few of us actually study the blade grinds or have a deep understanding of its keen edge which follows a certain geometry.
