favorite blade shape

[Noshtero]

My favorite blade shape is Nessmuk. (What can I say?) Not because of any useful reason I can point to. Just like it.

+1 Same for me.

Clip point or drop point i own and use both. The blade grind is what matters most to me, full flat blade grind with either a vee bevel or convex edge both work well if kept sharp.

I like a spear point or drop point. The Nessmuk shape appeals to me, but I haven't tried one (yet).

Drop Point by far. However I like many different ones for certain jobs.

 

[Gossman Knives]

Spearpoint, IMO is the best all around shape.

[Preacher Man]

Drop point all the way, then clip point and recurved.

 

[samhain73]

Drop point, then spear.

 

[Lorien]

#1 dropped point
#2 spear point

Well the drop point is found on most of my knives. But I dig the nessmuk shape and anything with curves. A good wharncliff is always nice.

Although the visual appeal of a recurve is nice, they are a whore to sharpen.

Clip Point.
I do also have short drop point but it is just not the right angle/sweep for fine skinning and cleaning. At least for me anyway.
