For most people, the knife consists of a blade and a handle. However, to get the most out of your knife, you must know all the intricate details and how these influence how you use it.
The grind is one of the most underestimated parts of the knife. It refers to the shape of the blade's cross-section or how it is thinned to reveal the cutting edge. The type of grind you have can influence the entire dynamic of the blade. Knowing the edges of your knife can also help a lot. Several different types of knife grinds include a hollow grind, flat grind, high flat grind, v-grind grind, chisel grind, convex grind, compound, and asymmetrical grind.
The type of grind on a knife is different from the blade profile.
