Scandi grinds traditionally have a zero grind. A single bevel all the way through to the edge of the blade. Tops will not produce one that way. Frankly their "scandi" gring is by definition a saber grind. It has a secondary grind at the edge. So, Does the secondary microbevel that Tops insists on putting on its "scandi" grind reduce the chisel like performance compared to a true scandi grind?

To me, the advantage of a scandi is that the bevel guide is built right into the blade so it's easy to sharpen with a small stone that doesn't weigh down your backpack .These have a very small secondary bevel, so it wouldn't take much work to maintain it as a true scandi if you wanted to. I'll be maintaining mine with a small secondary bevel because it's only job will be an around the farm pocket knife. Very well made and I like that it has the family resemblance to the Tops woods knives that make it so different from other pocket knives.
