Hollow ground blades, also known as hollow grind blades have concave, bevelled edges. These knives are sharpened in various ways to cater to different requirements, but the primary design is not entirely modified. The name \u2018hollow\u2019 is used because the knife has vertical indentations, evenly spaced out of the thickness of the blade. The slope of the edges is reduced significantly to make it sharper. Due to the sharp edges, the cutting ability is enhanced notably. It can be used for shallow, deep cuts because the swiftness of the blade is increased when the edges are made thinner. The handle of a hollow ground knife is a little longer than medium length because it makes it easier to skin the flesh or simply, have a sharp blade which can be used on a slant surface. To further explain the above statement, cutting pressure is significantly reduced when the angle is not straight, i.e. sloping in a particular direction. To be able to cut with the same intensity, a sharper blade is required. Hollow ground knives have the thinnest blades, which makes it the perfect tool for such uses.<\/p>\n

How to make a hollow ground knife?<\/strong><\/p>\n

When a wheel is used to sharpen the edges of the knife, a hollow ground blade<\/a> is created. As already defined above, the edges of a hollow ground blade have lesser material than the centre. They have a sloping edge with indentations at regular intervals. Different wheel diameters are used to create different hollow ground knives. Uses<\/strong><\/p>\n
