My two favorite grinds, flat and saber!

I concur!

Love Flat, saber stinks. It is a grind without a purpose. Flat is a better slicer, Scandi is better for wood processing.

You’re right, it’s a compromise! @Butch_Deezlsteak

Great stuff LT I use my convex 3v GNS all the time love that knife its usually between it and my forest trail in A2 love them both

My preference for outdoor blades is a high sabervex all the way down to zero edge. Then a full height true zero convex. And third, a true scandi on a relatively thin blade. 🔪✨

I'm partial to flat and sabre but, my Bushbaby with it's convex grind is the best of both worlds.

I tend to very generally match a grind to the intended use / size of the blade. A Next Gen would be great in a Flat Grind for finer whittling and food prep. A Genesis or Gen 5 would be perfect in a Saber Grind as I’d intend to do both small food prep and feather stick work as well as larger wood processing and batoning. Multi-purpose size blade gets a multi-use grind. I prefer a Scandi on a larger blade that I intend to Baton and Build a Shelter or Process a lot of wood with. No need for fine detail work. Just a work horse that can handle the task. The longer the blade the thicker it needs to be to take a heavy beating.

Flat grind and Scandi for me

You nailed the two best grinds. Saber sucks.

It all depends on the use????, Just like any other tool.

I LOVE a Bark River knife - in concept. Then, I hear there’s quality control issues. NOW, I’m falling in love with LTWK. How’s the QC? If I spend 300ish on a knife, it MUST come sharp and well assembled. No loose pins, no blunt blades, no loosening handle scales, etc… what say you?

We are very proud of our knives and feel their quality stands on its own merits.

They did not mention their rarely used Hevi grind or High Saber grind blades .

@LTWrightKnives 3 жыл бұрын

The grinds on the Hevi models and the high saber use the same technique as the standard saber and scandi grinds

Very interesting discussion.......one question for you gentlemen......can you sharpen a convex edge on a river rock ?

@LTWrightKnives 3 жыл бұрын

Yes, It might not be as pretty as a factory edge but if you’re down to sharpening on a rock, you are probably not concerned with pretty, just function. Just get your burr and strop it.
