Are any of the new 2014 flat grind versions of the Buck Thug available or are they all still hollow grind blades?

We have not seen any of the flat gound blades. It is probably a rolling change and will start being mixed in with their current inventory.

I dont know any chinese manufacturer that is trying to copy these. They certainly wouldnt be this expensive either. As far as grind do you mean angle of the edge? If so Im not sure what it would be called. Its not a standard 20. Its a slow regression towards the spine and evens out about halfway. Its a bit of a pain to get used to sharpening, but rarely needs it, and is super sharp. Its my hunting knife.

Yes, you got old stock. I got the non-serrated blade in February from Amazon. I'm not sure exactly when the switch was though.

NOT A CONICAL BURR GRINDER! Yes it IS a BURR grinder - but it is a FLAT burr grinder. The people saying "yes" have never seen a real conical burr grinder. The picture clearly shows the upper burr removed, and it is clearly flat. I own one of these and I also have a conical burr grinder. Spinning blade grinder = worst. Flat burr grinder = better. Real conical burr grinder = best. At these prices, better to spend a little more and get a conical.

No, although to my knowledge the cold steel is a full flat grind. Though if you really wanted a convex edge, just put one on it by sharpening it with sand paper on a soft yet firm surface.

I think the Full Circle is the newer, re-branded version. Not sure you can even find Grindz any more. The product appears to be the same.

The version with black g10 handles and steel liners is made with s30v. It is hollow ground and comes with plain or dlc coated blade. This looks like the black frn ultralight version. There is also a blue ultralight frn version. The ultralights have no liners, and the blades are made from flat ground cts bd1. This is the black frn ultralight in ffg cts bd1. Hope this helps!

I dont have an answer, but Im looking for the same thing. Have you found a blade that does cut a flat bottom dado?

No its very similar to a flat grind. This knife is awesome. One of the smoothest knives I own.

The blade is flat ground. There is no shoulder, but it is not as wide as a scandi grind. I have heard them called scandi before but I disagree. I would call it a flat grind at about 20 degrees. Hope this helps.

Mine came with the FFG blade. I believe all the newest models of this knife have been switched from HG to FFG.

can't tell if you are asking if you need them or where to get them. have used mine for years and haven't needed to get new ones. if you need new ones or want different shapes, Demand Product manufactures the hot knife and makes a variety of blades for it. try http://www.demandproducts.com/Hobby-and-Craft-items/item.php?=&sku=GROUPHKTCRBLADE

Just ordered the 15" version of this one as well actually (the wally-mart exclusive) . I actually like the look of the non-coated blade better. They are selling it for $12 right now too, so it was a deal too good to pass up ! Plus, when it comes to being prepared, one ever says they wish they had *fewer* machetes :-)

The instruction booklet "Accessories" page says they are available at oxo.com. I checked; they are not. The replacement blades (straight, crinkle, julienne, and french fry are there, but not cubing set. I would be interested in that set, too.

You can find the blades at http://www.dickblick.com/products/alvin-brass-bullet-pencil-sharpener/. I don't know if they're available on Amazon.
