That leaves less steel behind the edge than any other grind, and it is the reason this knife slices the way it does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd it is a \u003cstrong\u003ecompound grind\u003c\/strong\u003e, which means the hollow grind does not run the whole blade. Dustin switches to a flat grind at the tip, so you get a visible swoop where the two meet and a point with more steel behind it than a hollow grind alone would leave. That is the hard part to execute and it is the detail you notice first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen there is a swedge along the spine, for good measure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBlue Canyon Richlite and Bead Blast\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRichlite is paper and resin compressed under heat until it behaves like a dense hardwood. It machines cleanly, shrugs off water, and does not move with humidity. Blue Canyon runs cool and layered, and the bead blast on the blade is the right companion to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBead blasting leaves an even matte surface with no direction to it, so the blade does not throw light. Against the acid washed version of this same knife it reads much quieter, which is the whole reason Dustin offered both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe New Jimping\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDustin changed his jimping for this model. It is finer than what he runs on his other knives, because the Raven is a sleeker and more refined shape than the rest of the lineup and coarse jimping would have fought that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou still get real grip out of it. It just does not shout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Sheath He Likes Best\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a new design and Dustin says it is his favorite thing he has made. It is a deep pocket carry Kydex sheath, ambidextrous, so the knife goes in whichever way you want it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt sits in the back corner of your pocket with a little of the knife exposed, which means a fixed blade that carries like a folder and comes out just as fast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMagnaCut\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMagnaCut gives you edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance without trading any of the three away. On a hollow ground edge this thin, the toughness is the part that matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout North Edge Tools\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNorth Edge Tools is one person. Dustin North works out of Colorado and makes every knife himself from grinding through handle work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy This One Stands Out\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecurve, hollow ground, compound ground, swedged, with new jimping and a new sheath.
