Thread: Half Hollow or Full Hollow Ground

Hi

I have used a straight for over 15 years. Just never understood the difference between half hollow or full hollow ground. Can someone clear this up for me.

Thanks

Here an illustration that will make you understand the difference.

There are some more profiles shown here also..

basically the less hollow the grind, the more metal on the blade, the more metal, the stiffer the blade
