Thinking about the purpose of the Model 10 (and the Carving Set knife), has any thought been given to a single-side grind, with the bevel being applied only to the side opposite the trademark?

For a right-hand user, that would result in the trademark side of the blade being flat and maybe helping to keep cuts aligned with the flat side of the blade.

I have not seen this on any commercial knives, and don't know if anybody has experimented with it.

A chisel grind? Emerson is the only commercial maker I'm aware of that does this. CQC 7 is beveled on the trademark side, as I right hander I don't find it to work that well. I have a few from a custom maker, chisel ground was his claim to fame so to speak IIRC, beveled on the non trademark side and these, I find, work quite well. They're more of a woods knife, marketed as bushcrafters, but I have used them on game.
