The trucks are composed of a hard metal without lubricant or bearings on the grinding surface, so they literally do grind on the objects they slide across. Grinding can strip paint off of steel and wear down the edges ...
The mechanical advantage or MA of a wedge can be calculated by dividing the height of the wedge by the wedge's width: [1] M A = L e n g t h W i d t h {\displaystyle {\rm {MA={Length \over Width}}}} The more acute , or narrow, the angle of a wedge, the greater the ratio of the length of its slope to its width, and thus the more mechanical ...
A Sabre grind without a secondary bevel is called a "Scandinavian (Scandi) grind", which is easier to sharpen due to the large surface.
