Axe to Grind. To have a grievance with someone, especially where one feels the need to seek damaging retribution. The phrase probably originates from the act of sharpening an axe with a grinding wheel, with the intent (in this definition) to get revenge on someone by maiming or killing them. ;) Five years ago that guy stole my idea for an invention and made tons of money off it! I've had an axe to grind with him ever since.
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.
