Just to clarify things for you a bit. The terms "Convex grind" and "Scandi grind" refer to how the blade was actually ground, and don't necessarily have anything to do with the edge. In other words, you could put a "Convex edge" on just about any knife whether it be Convex ground, Hollow ground, Scandi ground, Taper ground, or Flat ground. Convexing the edge means just that, convexing only the edge. Here is a diagram that might help you understand the different grinds Blade Grinds . The Taper grind isn't shown in this diagram, but it is just a lightly convexed wedge.
