Looking for similar Luzon hilt styles

[kai]

Hello xasterix,

4. Chisel grind is not common for Luzon blades. Why do you think the owner/smith customized the blade to be such? Do you know of any advantage of chisel vs convex grind?

Well, in the kitchen it allows to make nice thin slices from softer tissues. Thus, the owners must have been sushi aficionados...

If you cut through bulk tissue (or other material), a chisel grind blade tends to cut a curve towards the unbeveled side of the blade/edge. With the relatively thin blades and also thin bevels, this effect may not be very strong though.

Regards,
Kai
