Hi there,
I'm about to start work on my second home made knife, have ordered the steel and am looking into different grinds.
The other knife was a scandi grind, and I remembered that years ago I had a knife with a single bevel grind (no, not a Japanese kitchen knife) and I LOVED it, but I never used it in a bushcraft scenario.
Does anyone know anything about how this grind performs out in the field?
You may well be asking 'why bother?', Well why not? By my reckoning a single bevel grind would be easier to do, and easier to maintain, and if it does turn out to be rubbish I thought I could put a backbevel on it and try again, and if that turns out to be rubbish too, I'll let you all know. But It'll be fun trying.
