I also second. SNS2 that Clint is an absolute pleasure to work with.

By all means chat with Clint on the grind, but scandi is not the best for taking any real abuse, and is probably the worst for slicing. It is easy to sharpen and is probably the best for working wood. If you are looking for the best grind to take abuse it’s a convex edge. That’s why your axe is convexed grind. The next best for abuse is a saber grind with secondary bevel. The saber grind is probably the best all around compromise of toughness and slicing. Convex grind is great until you have to sharpen it in the field.
