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.
The Scandinavian Grind. The Scandinavian Grind is a wide flat bevel that runs to the edge of the blade There is little or no secondary bevel. The primary angle is engineered to match the quality of the steel and intended use.The result is a very keen edge that provides excellent control of the cut.ost knives, especially those from factories, combine two or three planes on each side of the blade. There is often a flat portion near the spine of the blade. The primary grind, that reduces the thickness of the blade to form the edge, may be concave, flat, or convex.
