hi,

I'm kinda new here, just got into knives about a month or so ago and i've been researching the topic non stop on the internet, very interesting stuff. Who knew something so simple can be so complicated! anyways does any know of a site that has "pictures" and descriptions of different blade types i.e. tanto, sheepfoot, drop point etc. i can find sites that explain what they are but i need visuals. thanks

Maybe this will help you. These are patterns, but you will get the idea.
Here is another place to see live blades, so to speak.
