Spear Point question

[DudeoftheDesert]

I know there must be a name, nomenclature, descriptive term, etc., for a spearpoint blade that gets slightly wider from the tang toward the tip (sort of like a cotton sampler, but not nearly as severe). I have tried searching under "balloon spearpoint", no luck.
Also, any recommendations on a good edc one of these, single blade, carbon steel, for around $100 150? Thanks much, as always.

For double-edged blades I have heard it referred to as leaf-shaped

Like this?

Yep, that's it, exactly, thanks; what is the shape, anyone know? Or does it even have a name?

I think its just a spear blade. Pretty common on GEC knives. Also the EZ open knives (like the one pictured) usually have that type of spear blade

Yes, GEC use this shape on many of their models, often single blade and 1095 carbonsteel.
A very popular model is the #78 and most of their production are within Your pricerange.



I have EDC'ed the #78 a lot and I liked it so much that I bought 3 more.
Two of them as gifts and one as a spare.

Try leaf-shape blade.

I've only ever heard or seen it referred t as a spear point with belly.
