Matt Mckeown Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Hi I know chisel grinds divide opinion somewhat! However is anyone aware of or tried a double edged dagger type blade, with a single bevel chisel edge one side, and another on the obverse of the other side? Any thoughts> I am aware of the chisel point being used on some combat knives. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vern Wimmer Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Not aware of one. With a flat blade, such as the Ek design, it should be doable. With a Fairbairn design getting the geometry correct might take the advice of three wise men and a team of German engineers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeb Camper Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 While I don't fully understand the point (no pun intended ), it could look cool. I drew it out. You'll probably end up with a perfect diamond but kind of crooked it will just look like a really weird single edged knife from the profile. hope you can understand my chicken scratch doodles.

Vern Wimmer Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 (edited) Is that what you call one of them there "trapeze-a-zoidial" type shape thingies? Edited September 30, 2017 by Vern Wimmer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeb Camper Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Indeed. When I'm not calling them rhombuses, I call them diamonds. When I am feeling sophisticated I call them di-triagonal- quadrapoint-trapezezoidial-doohicky flamages. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEzell Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 When I was a teenager I had some throwing stars that had that type of grind. I've been meaning to go out to my grandparent's old place with a metal detector to see if I could recover any of the two dozen or so that I lost there... Someone came up with the same idea you have, though I can't recall what they're calling it, there is a line of tactical knives that uses that geometry.

Geoff Keyes Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 I think it's this http://www.beshknives.com/models.php called the Besh Wedge. Geoff 1 "The worst day smithing is better than the best day working for someone else." I said that. If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing badly. - - -G. K. Chesterton So, just for the record: the fact that it does work still should not be taken as definitive proof that you are not crazy.

Matt Mckeown Posted October 1, 2017 Author Share Posted October 1, 2017 Yes the Besh was the one I was thinking of with the chisel point. Like your drawings Zeb! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
