(stupid) question: do you pronounce it /gr i nd/ or /gra i nd/.

i know i'm not clear. i can read phonetics but cannot write it.

The word is pronounced to rhyme with kind, mind or find. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.174.169.10 (talk) 14:11, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Move this article to "Blade"?

Perhaps this article should be merged with Blade? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blade I was trying to remember the term used for the cross-section of a sword and spent quite the effort on Google trying to recall the term.

I am a knife maker who specializes in handmade knives for outdoorsmen, to be used for camping, bushcraft, hunting, etc. I believe the article reference for the "convex grind" is incorrect. The reference page makes a lot of factual statements about the convex grind without any evidence supporting those statements. Referencing one person's unqualified opinion of a grinds suitability for any specific task is unfair and potentially misleading. I believe the reference should be removed and more scientific data presented that can actually bear out whether a particular grind type is suitable for a given task. Also, the photos for the article should include modern knife grinding equipment like a 2X72" belt grinder. The second photo is a knife sharpener, not a true grinder used to manufacture knives.
