I got one just yesterday. First impressions are that it’s a well made knife; the grind is about right (for me) as far as degrees per side go at the apex (around 16°ps); it is capable of a very sharp edge akin to 1095 sharp off of 30k compound; and the handle geometry is quite well done. The handle is thicker than the Gunny in all proportions and this is a big plus. The grind is a much larger convex radius than the 3V version, thus capable of a finer edge without major reprofiling, and isn’t too far from flat, which is a pretty good geometry in my experience. 【Full flat to zero is simply impractical and prone to chips; in Scandinavia you won’t find too many full flat to zero “scandi” grinds made by Scandinavian knifesmiths as almost all are either: 1) flat with a blended micro convex bevel; or 2) slightly convex; outside of Scandinavia but still in the region 3) in the case of Finland Puukkot they are generally high full flat with a micro convex bevel. The full flat to zero “true scandi” grind thing is a nonsense myth and unless you are in a workshop putting those edges on carving knives they serve no purpose in edge retention regardless of what you’re cutting.】 Only time will tell me anything more; and initially I’m not disappointed at all.
There is a distinct difference between a scandi and a sabre grinde, which is, that the scandi has on bevel while the sabre grind has two bevels. They are not the same.
