taper ground


Explanation:
Einar Engström:
Svensk-Engelsk teknisk ordbog:
konisk slipning = taper grinding

Example sentence(s):
  • Unlike the hollow ground blade that has a either a beveled or fluted edge, the Taper Ground Blade is a more stable knife blade due to the rigid structure of a finely tapered, single sheet of metal.
  • Taper ground stainless steel blades
