Most grinds have an angle on the edge itself, then a different angle between the edge and the spine of the blade—you get a narrow angle to give the sharp cutting edge, then the broader backbevel to maintain the strength of the blade. That’s why the Spyderco Tri-Angle Sharpmaker has different angles for the stones on each end of its base—20 degrees for the edge and 30 degrees for the backbevel, IIRC. Scandi grinds don’t have the second angle between the edge and spine, the grind just goes all the way down to the edge. It’s a common edge in Scandinavian knives (like the Finnish Puukko), thus the name. Morakniv uses Scandi grinds on their knives (which is fitting, as they’re Swedish, IIRC) if you want to see a common example.</blockquote>
