Hello Rick,

Yes indeed, chisel grind is not quite the word. Thanks again ... and I owe you a hot drink

Rick, buttered rum it shall be then

Hmm, I don't know what to call the edge. How about "right-handed half-convex forged blade"? But 'tis too long. I think you should be the one to name it because it's yours

No suggestions still from anybody?

How about right inside-convex knife, or even shorter, right convex knife?

I think somehow that rings a bell

PS - Hello Rick, I think the honor is well deserved

Sorry Miguel, I hit edit instead of quote ....

While some might differ, I know with the laraw (Taiwanese aboriginal headhunting/survival knife of the Atayal group) I have handled, their single-bevel blades are kind of like what migueldiaz is saying...

Here's a diagram I made. The flat side is angled to make the edge centered instead of to the side so to speak. Where-as others are to the side and others have a double bevel.
