Thread: does 1/4 1/2 full hollow grind make that much of a difference?

For me I feel a bit of "flex" (flex may not be the right word b/c you don't use much pressure, but that is the word that comes to mind) from the hollow grinds and not from the wedges... I like the big heavy steel feel more than the light "flexy" feel of the hollow.

Just my preference

I dunno, I think the full hollows flex more too. Sometimes I like the "inert, but sharp" feel of a nice wedge grind, and

Sometimes the "lively, responsive" feel of a full hollow is just what the doctor ordered.
