As you go to less hollow grinds that flexibility is lost and of course with a true wedge its just a chunk of iron. 1/2 and 1/4 hollows will shave very similar to a wedge.
Pretty much all my full hollow ducks really have the same flexibility. Some of the older ones which aren't quite as hollow seem a little stiffer and of course the Satin Wedge is really stiff but its not a true wedge. There are really few true wedges out there. You really have to look for them.The true wedges I've seen are your big English meat choppers.
