Tip strength

[Frozy]

I'm thinking of getting a chokwe, but how's the tip strength compared to... say, a stretch 2 or a military?
Any pictures provided will be greatly appreciated

All three are ground very thin at the tip, so I wouldn't let that be a deciding factor between them. I've owned all three at one point or another, and all are excellent knives. But if you're leaning toward the Chokwe, I'd say go for it: IMHO it's an underrated/overlooked gem in Spyderco's lineup.

I only handled one for a short time, but I'd say the Chokwe has a thinner and more acute point than the Military and the Stretch.

Here's a shot of the three, plus part of a knife that actually has a fine splinter-picker tip.

The Chokwe's a great knife.

Hey, thanks for the pic. But i want to see the tip thickness from the spine, meaining top shot.
Wow, that's some really menancing tip

At the very tip, the Chokwe is slightly thicker than the Stretch, and slightly thinner than the Millie.

Hmm... it looks almost like the dragonfly's tip
