The grind has no shoulder, typical of wedge or 1/4 hollows but it's very thin at the belly, not typical of that grind.
I've no doubt it's a ripsnorter of a shave.sharptonn likes this.“The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.”

To me, it does not look like a standard grind. It looks like it started out as a standard 1/4 hollow, but then the blade was thinned out near the edge, so the edge will shave more like a full hollow. That type of grind requires using more than one diameter grinding wheel. Several artisans are doing something similar these days.
