3. Hollow Grind (AKA Concave Grind) Description: A hollow grind sets the blade up to perform best as a precision slicing machine and it does this by removing a lot of the blade material in a concave shape. Hollow grinds provide for a very thin but razor-sharp edge which is probably why they're often found commonly on straight razors!

The hollow grind is ideal for cutting soft tissue, which is why it is found on skinners and scapels. Hollow grinds always have a secondary bevel. Without a secondary bevel, the edge on a hollow grind blade would be extremely fragile. Many custom knifemakers also favour a hollow grind, partially due to its ability to achieve a sharp edge.

Hi everybody. Ive only flat ground my blades so far, but i want to start hollow grinding some straight razors. During my forging process i forge all bevels in and clean them with a flatter before i start rough grinding. My question is, do i need to forge in an edge bevel for hollow grinding or do...

To overcome such deficiencies, applicant has provided a fixture which is attachable to a grinder or the like which holds the blade securely against the grinding wheel while permitting the operator to move the knife blank back and forth across the surface of the grinding wheel to provide for uniform hollow grinding of the edge to a predetermined thickness in a rapid and facile manner.

Hollow grind. As the name might already suggest the hollow grind is hollow. Traditionally speaking a hollow grind was applied by pushing the side of the blade to a large, spinning, grinding wheel. Because of the curve of the stone a hole would emerge which would stretch out over the entire length of the blade.

Hollow grinding simplifies the subsequent honing but the more acute angle that results will make the cutting edge weaker and more liable to be damaged. This detrimental effect is especially noticeable on the very hard, laminated Japanese plane blades and chisels. In Japan it is unthinkable to grind the bevel of a blade hollow.

Took the hollow all the way back to make a completely shoulderless grind. Been working on a batch of 5 7/8 razors, 4 wedges and this one hollow grind. Decided to freehand it and it came out good. Used some cork belts up to 800 grit to blend the belly into the edge grind but still left it quite distinct visually.

A hollow grind knife can be sharpened on whetstones in the same manner that you would sharpen a normal flat grind knife. Depending on the curvature of the hollow grind, it may be possible to maintain the curve of the bevel right to the cutting edge, but in most circumstances, this will not be possible.

A hollow ground blade. A hollow ground blade is a knife blade that has been ground down to create a characteristic concave, beveled edge along the cutting edge of the knife. This effect is accomplished by starting the grind below the midpoint of the knife, creating a small wedge with concave sides that is extremely sharp and very easy to care for.

You can hone quite a few times before the hollow is gone and grinding is necessary. Sharpening should not require spending big money. IMO it is sold as a black art that needs all manner of paraphernalia that is designed to take cash that could be better spent on a new L-N 4 ½ or some nice cherry stock.

After grinding a hollow the front half was flattened in under 10 mins on a quite slow diamond plate You can probably see how scratching from a diamond plate stops somewhere at half the blade length. I'm not suggesting anyone should hollow grind their chisels. But if you want to mess around here's some pointers.

A hollow grind will self-jig the blade so that it is supported on the sharpening medium. A hollow grind automatically created a microbevel, which reduces the area to hone, making sharpening faster. Flat grinds are predominantly for those that (a) do not use a grinder at all, or (b) are intending to use a honing guide.

The metal widget with the springs is there just to ...

Hollow grind. What it is: A hollow grind features symmetric, concave surfaces ending in a thin, extremely sharp edge. A hollow grind doesn't produce a very strong edge, and therefore generally isn't suitable for sustained use on hard or fibrous materials. What it's good for: Straight razors (shaving), hunting (skinning), food preparation ...

The Hollow Grind . To make a hollow grind, the blade blank is applied to the surface of a grinding wheel or a belt passing around a wheel, taking a concave scoop out of the blade. The depth of the hollow will depend on the circumference of the wheel. This means that many hollow grinds will be very shallow, and indeed on many blades it is ...

Hollow grinding produces a concave form on the knife blade. Products made by this type of grinding are pocket knives, smaller kitchen knives and multi-tools. This process uses Type 6 cup wheels being used simultaneously. Hollow grind gives the knife blade a thinner blade producing a knife that will cut quickly, with minimal effort.

The hollow grind is achieved by holding the blade to the grinding wheel at a right angle, which "hollows" the blade. Since this method results in a very sharp taper of the blade towards the edge, hollow-ground blades are very sharp but not particularly sturdy. How much the blade can withstand depends on the size of the hollow and the radius of ...

Posted February 9, 2009 (edited) Cory, Very rarely will you see forged knives that were hollow grind, mostly people stick to Flat Grinding and more realistically Convex Grinding. Hollow Grinding itself is more of a extreme sharp for straight razors and fine work but the edge is not strong compared to Convex. Personally I don't like Hollow Grind ...
