    Common Survival Knife Grinds and points

    Full Convex Grind


    A full convex grind is fairly common blade grind that is suited
    for all purpose use. The grind starts at the spine and has a subtle
    arc all the way down to the edge. The egde is generally very, very
    sharp and can be easily maintained using a leather strop with some

    sandpaper. Even though the edge is thin and sharp it is also


    considered strong because there is more steel behind it than other
    common grinds.

    Saber Grind

    middle or down a bit from the spine to the edge or secondary

    grind is considered very robust and strong. Some of the most


    common military knives such as the Kabar use the saber gring.
    The saber grind is built for heavy duty work such as prying, digging
    and chopping.

    Full Flat Grind with a Secondary Bevel

    of the secondary bevel. It is a good all around grind because the edge
    or secondary bevel can be thin or thicker dependent on the purpose.
    A thin edge will excel at general cutting, slicing and skinning, where
    a thicker edge can be used on more robust materials such as hard-
    woods.

    Scandi / Nordi Grind


    The scadi / nordic grind is a single bevel grind, basically one big
    edge. The scandi can be extremely sharp and is very common
    in the scandinavian countries and is consider thier everyday
    knife. I have found that this type of grind excels at carving wood.
    Due to the edge being thin and razor sharp the scandi grind takes
    a bit more to maintain and is more prone to the edge rolling
    when used against hard materials.

    Clip Point
    The clip point tip is as it looks. The spine has a straight cut to the tip of the knife. The clip
    Can start as far back as the handle or at any interval from the handle to the tip. A clipped
    point drops the tip of the knife lower than the spine and makes for a strong and very pointy
    tip. Often clip point knives have a false edge that assists in penetration. They are commonly

    Drop Point
    The drop point blade has a curve drop from the spine to the tip. It is also used to lower the tip closer to
    the center to provide better handling and control. This type of tip is often seen on hunting and general
    camp knives.
