Curved, Dropped or Straight?

[MrTroubleSnake]

Whats up guys, what style blade do you like? Curved like a hawkbill or kukri, drop point, clip point, or bowie, or straight like a tanto. Forget utility wise, just whats your favorite? & WHY? Merry Christmas Ever'one:thumbup:

I like different versions of them all really.

Bowie's are probably my favorite, followed by wharncliffe and then tanto's.:emot-yarr:

Whats a wharncliffe?

A wharncliffe is a blade with a (usually) totally straight cutting edge. I like all different blade shapes but drop point is usually my favorite...who would've thought?

I prefer a traditional clip point or a spear point with false edge on top. Mostly used for hunting deer and hogs.

Are clip point blades and drop point different style? If so i didnt know, otherwise i would have written it down.

This

Straight edge, it differs from a sheepsfoot in that the spine starts curving down much earlier, resulting in a much finer tip. My personal favorite for typical, city EDC work.

I love me some drop point action. Clip points are good too.

 

[gooeytek]

I'm a sucker for wharnies. even my custom chopper is a wharnie.

Ignoring practicality, persian style with a vicious point-- like the Emerson folder. I'm partial to anything stabby, aesthetically. Wharncliffes look really cool too.

 

[MrTroubleSnake]

Wharncliffes are pretty nasty lookin.

Bowies followed by tanto, and by tanto I mean like my custom Pohan Leu.

Here's a pic (not my own pic) of an HTM Gunhammer that I also have.

I like a blade with a nice curve to it, but no recurve. A Leaf shaped blade strikes a nice balance between what I find practical and what looks nice, to me. :thumbup:

I've just read that you designed the custom wharncliffe knife, thats pretty sick dude:thumbup:

Dropped or leaf shaped for me. I just like they way they look.
