Tyrkon,
the drop point is better for skinning (more belly and less apt to rip the skin w/the point), but the Meaner / Street Scrapper profile works just fine for that too.
I think the drop point is a little better for everything except stabbing (which i plan to never do), or "poking" a small hole in something (like when you have to let your belt out ANOTHER notch after the holidays
I do prefer the "look" of the meaner and have yet to find anything that I couldn't do with it. I know it's just an opinion, but i like the blade profile they chose (and i like the choil too -- but that's another highly debatable topic...)
