    I like the overall design, but that grind doesn’t make any sense to me. How thick is the blade?

      Lotta people have that reaction at first. It’s the same grind they use on the Freeman 451, which is extremely well rated. I love mine.

      Near as I can tell, the effect is the same as grinding hollows in a nakiri – it keeps things from sticking to the blade and it reduces weight a bit. I can tell you that it hasn’t been a problem to use on either knife.

      You can probably ask Jeff if you’re really curious. https://www.freemanoutdoorgear.com/pages/contact-us

        I appreciate the explanation. It provides an interesting visual but I’m glad to hear that it is also functional.
