Mac,<br><br>A chisel grind is where the blade edge (regardless of blade shape) is ground like a carpenter's chisel, on one side only. Anybody know the Italian word for chisel? Other posts on this thread have taught me that the KISS is also available with a more conventional grind, so my objections to the knife are moot (if they weren't already:)<br><br>Please don't apologize for your English, it's FAR better than my Italian.<br><br>One thing I forgot to mention: Use what works for you. You'll get great ideas here, but ultimately, it's your choice.<br><br>Take care,<br><br>Andy
