I make knives, so a lot depends on a customers age...The older hunters want a clip point, and the younger more informed ones want a drop point....I know it sounds silly, but it seems to be that way.....Most are deer hunters.....The older ones want a smaller one, and the younger ones want a rambo or large blade......I don't think this answers your question, but it is for info only...............carl........ps. I carry a large folder in a horizontal sheath on my belt......The only way to go for me
