What does "full flat" grind mean? I can't see any pictures that really show the grind, are they taper ground, do they have distal taper, etc. I'd assume they're at least taper ground but to me a "full flat" grind sounds like one of those really cheap knives made out of a piece of flat steel with a huge bevel providing the only taper.
PS. This was supposed to be a reply to @AngryAccountant but it looks like massdrip's discussion software has stuffed up yet again...

JaggiHere's a image that describes/exagerates what i'm talking about, https://agrussell.com/files/content/image/Redone%20Blade%20Grinds%201400%20x%20800-min.png
The cutting edge itself is at 22 degrees, while the bulk of the knife is most likely at a 1-3 degree grind, so the spine can be kinda thick, while the blade behind the edge can be rather thin. Worth noting, the actual edge of the blade due to being sharpened via belt, is a convex grind as seen on the far right of the image.
