Thread: Not "hollow" not "wedge". Lets do this by the numbers. There ARE numbers you know !!!

Nenad,
I think you are right on the wedge not being quite a slice of pie. Even my oldest, wedgiest of wedges still only touched on edge and spine so must have the slightest degree of relief on the sides....slightly concave.

In the 'Types of blades:' drawing provided on this thread by GWH then,

The Double Hollow would look like the image XIV
The Full Hollow would look like XII
The Half Hollow like VIII
Quarter Hollow IV
an Wedge I or II

Is that about right?

What's this about indicating the Double Concave Grind?
How does the provided image not display that?
How could it be shown, or what am I missing? I don't know how you could show that.

X,
I think Randy was refering to a grind where the side is not completely a concave from spine to edge. On many the concave section stops just behind the edge resulting in a slight widening which strengthens the edge.

Yep, that's it alright.
