The grind of a blade refers to the shape of the cross-section of the blade. It is distinct from the blade profile (e.g., clip point or drop pointknife, sabre or cutlass, axe or chisel, etc.), though different tools and blades may have lent their name to a particular grind.
Grinding involves removing significant portions of metal from the blade and is thus distinct from honing and polishing. It is notably done when first sharpening the blade or when a blade has been significantly damaged or abused (such as breaking a tip, chipping, or extensive corrosion) A well maintained blade will need less frequent grinding than one which is not treated well.
The terms edge angle and included angle can be important when talking about grinding. The edge angle is measured between the surface of an edge and a line running from the point of the cutting edge to the centre of the back edge. The included angle is the sum of the edge angles. All other things being equal, the smaller the included angle the sharper the blade and the easier it is to damage the edge.
Grind is a board game by Privateer Press. It is the first of their board games to be based onWarmachine. It is a steam-punk game where the players control teams of 5 machines called warjacks and pit them against each other to force a huge spiked ball called the grinder into their opponents goal pit.
The box contains 10 warjacks, 5 red and 5 blue, each team has 2 heavy warjacks (crushers) and 3 light warjacks (runners), it also contains a full-size board, 24 specialty dice, 12 tokens, 2 pillars and the grinder
Gameplay is fast-paced and tactical, with the player moving their warjacks, attacking other warjacks and the grinder, and blocking other warjacks while trying to keep the other team from getting near their goal zone.
There are no numbered dice (d6) used in the game because the whole system works around strikes, there are 3 different types of dice, white action dice, blue boost dice and red power dice, the power dice have the highest chance of hitting, while action dice have the lowest. All of the dice have a 1-in-6 chance of rolling a super strike which is worth 2 strikes.
"Grind" is a song by American rock band Alice in Chains and the lead single from their album Alice in Chains (1995). It serves as the opening track to the album but, despite being its first single, did not experience the radio longevity of some of its contemporaries. The song was included on the compilation albums Nothing Safe: Best of the Box (1999), Music Bank (1999), Greatest Hits (2001), and The Essential Alice in Chains (2006). Jerry Cantrell sings lead vocals on the song with Layne Staley harmonizing with him.
Lyrics
"Grind" seems to address the various rumors that surrounded the band at the time. The opening lines, "In the darkest hole, you'd be well advised/Not to plan my funeral before the body dies", seem to be addressing the rumors that the band had broken up and the many rumors of vocalist Layne Staley's death that had occurred frequently around this time. In the liner notes of 1999's Music Bank box set collection, guitarist Jerry Cantrell said of the song:
You can read me just don’t page ahead You’re better off indifferent with everything I once said Like I am so straight talk me please I’m living in a haven for insanity pleas Communicate this so we can be Agreed that it remains judgment free ‘Cause pain is untold and felt alone We ran through the cold to find our way home In spite of all my doubts I’m breathing Yet my earth is shaking ground In the absence of your sound I’ll breathe in But there’s nothing to be found And in the perfect company Nobody cares about tomorrow We’re living our biography With memories to follow Add me up subtract the past The energy was negative but didn’t seem to last To a brand new day where I’ll start from scratch I’m finding out my everything is something I’ve gotta have But I’m stuck on you and this fuckin’ place This entire experience is straight from grace A sound is made if there’s no one listening But the time won’t tick if I don’t pay attention In spite of all my doubts I’m breathing Yet my earth is shaking ground In the absence of your sound I’ll breathe in ‘Cause there’s nothing to be found And in the perfect company Nobody cares about tomorrow We’re living our biography With memories to follow Us to bed and they’ll plagiarize our death I’ll breathe in And every day is a fresh new danger You wanna run but you’re stuck to the floor And though you know you just cannot stay here
