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 grind of a blade refers to the shape of the cross-section of the blade. It is distinct from the blade profile (e.g. , clip point or drop point knife, sabre or cutlass, axe or chisel, etc.), though different tools and blades may have lent their name to a particular grind. Chisel grind â As on a chisel, only one side is ground (often at an edge angle of about 20 â 30Â°); the other remains flat. 2  As many Japanese culinary knives tend to be chisel ground they are often sharper than a typical double bevelled Western culinary knife.
