Suppressors Knife blade grind/profile question

[RECKON SO]

I was checking out Striders website and saw how many different blade grinds and profiles there were "such as flat grind, 3/4 grind, drop point, spear point" Is one inherently better than another for everyday carry/poking/gouging/cutting and such as that?

Drop point and spear point are going to be your 2 most useful. Drop point is the most commonly made blade pattern.

Re: Knife blade grind/profile question

the grind refers to the shape of the cross section of the blade. Some include; hollow, flat, saber, double bevel and convex. The grind and point profile are independent although some combinations are of course better suited than others.

I like a drop point hollow ground for a carry knife.

I like the hollow grind personally. It's easier for me to sharpen.

I like hollow grind and full flat grind. Full flat is great for slicing. Hollow grid is good for EDC as is stronger edge and easy to sharpen with a strop. Blade shapes are personal preferance.. I many designs.
