Thanks! Always interesting to hear what the makers think about such things. I'm glad you offer the No.10 in FF and in Scandi (and different handle materials and steels). I liked my first No.10 so much that I simply bought a second one! Now I have both grinds and both steels. I might give the hollow ground knife a try as well because I've recently been carrying a hollow grind folder and learned to appreciate its slicy qualities. What do you think about knives in full convex or in what is sometimes called scandivex? Is there a chance we are going to see a convex ground Casström knife some day? Maybe a larger blade?
Yes, a convex grind is a very strong grind, particularly for use when batoning and chopping. Often, knives end up becoming slightly convex over time when we sharpen them over and over. The main drawback is in the ease of sharpening, as it is more difficult to find the correct angle. We don't currently have any plans to make a knife with a convex grind in the future. A bigger blade? Sure. It is something we think about. We used to produce the No.14, and we are looking at a couple of options on a larger blade in the future.
Just purchased my first no10 feels good
