A method of stone working employed in the smoothing of an edge or surface by rubbing it with a hammerstone or other abrader prior to use Performed on projectiles or blades so that hafting materials (lashings) would not be cut by sharp edges of the base Also commonly referred to as Basal Grinding when the base and sides of the stem have been ground There are varying degrees of grinding, typically referred to as light, moderate or heavy

Knives are flat, hollow or taper ground, beginning at the back of the blade and working toward the edge The blade may retain visible grinding marks and this can have an effect on service or blade life of stainless-steel blades The smoother the finish on non-stainless blades, the more resistant they are to corrosion
Means of reducing ore into very small particles by means of pressure or impact Different types of grinders are used in the processing plant to obtain the desired dimension
