Cold Wax Paste. Encaustic paint needs to contain wax & colour. The quality of these components & the way in which ingredients interact defines the final character & behavior of the paint. Heat is the solvent for the encaustic medium on this site, so no evaporating solvents are needed nor discussed here.
Ok, so we left off discussing secondary edge bevels. If you have a scandi grind with a 30 degree inclusive bevel, and a flat grind with a 30 degree inclusive edge bevel, then the same exact angle meets the material being cut. The sharpness potential for both types of grinds is identical.The edge's resistance to wear is identical.f field maintenance is of any concern at all, scandi is hands down the best grind. There is nothing easier than a knife that has its own angle guide built right in. You lay the bevel on a flat stone (which will last you decades longer than a sheet of sandpaper) and push.
Description. The Scandinavian Grind is basically a Saber or Flat grind that has no secondary bevel, making the edge extremely thin. The reason it is called a Scandinavian grind is because it is commonly found in Scandinavian knives such as Puukko and Mora knives, which are designed for woodwork and utility.Cold Steel also makes a Puukko-style knife called the Finn Bear which uses a Scandinavian Grind.nother way to sharpen a Scandinavian grind is to use a strop or the mousepad and ultrafine sandpaper technique, similar to sharpening a convex grind, though it is recommended that you use a freehand sharpening technique as it will maintain the Scandinavian grind geometry.
