    Ok guys, calm, down. I'm sure nobody made any comments to offend. If so, move on. You have been warned!

    I think Cat is right, double hollow refers to extra hollow ground.

    I believe this is referred to as "bellied hollow ground", which would be different from both full hollow and double hollow, and of course different from extra hollow....

    Wow, what a hollow conversation, I need a beer now...

    Here is a very good article explaining what 'hollow' grind is and why and also double hollow grind.
    Look at the two cross-sectional diagrams of a single hollow ground blade and a double hollow ground blade. Also read the explanation.
    Hollow = concave in the blade when looking at it end on. Especially read the paragraphs on Stability and balance.

    Hope this helps.

    Yes, that's how I understand it also. A bellied, hollow ground, is what I'd call it.
