As we all know, I have no pride and would prefer to be corrected than continue with incorrect assumptions.
With that being said, the phrases wide bevel, shinogi, and "blade road" have been used in recent discussions and I'm not sure I'm truly clear on what they exactly mean.
An no, google was not my friend on this one. I prefer the much better explanations some of our learned members give.
I just thought a wide bevel knive had a slightly flatter grind half way down the blade to to near the edge, where it got thin (kinda the opposite of what Takeda is currently doing).
Shinogi is a different kind of grind though, right? There's something special about it that I can't quite figure out?
And what the heck is a blade road?
Go ahead, facepalm. I deserve it :biggrin:.
