Can you show me some pictures of SJ Flat Grind vs. a Convex Grind? I think mine is flat, but would like to know for sure since I'm being asked about the grind in my "for sale" thread.

Thanks

Here's a flat

And here's a convex

Kind of hard to tell from your pics but yours looks to be flat.

I just saw your other pics. It is flat ground 100% sure. :thumbup:

The more I look at the knife, the less I'm wanting to sell it!

Umm, that's the way it's supposed to be .

A great all around mid-size blade. You can always convex the edge, or have it done.

Bear in mind that there is a difference between a convex PRIMARY grind and a convex EDGE grind. There are many Busses with full flat primaries and convex edges (Uncle MoFo as an example). To check the primary, just put a straight edge (like a ruler) on it, running from spine to edge. If it rocks back and forth, it's convex.

I know my SAR 3 is a convex knife, but what is my BWM?

Thanks!!

Just put a business card or other flat edge against the side of the blade - if it is primary convex, you will be able to rock the card back and forth. Flat grind there is no space between the card and blade.
