Are you a drop point guy or a clip point guy? Before you answer, make sure you know the differences between the two. Drop point is on the left, clip point is on the right. Here's a rundown of two different styles. SHAPE A drop point is the perfect shape for a knife blade that needs to handle various butchering tasks like cutting, skinning, and carving. AESTHETICS Many hunters prefer the aesthetic value of a more traditional design, which the clip point offers. VERSATILITY The drop point is typically thicker, especially at the tip, compared to a clip point. This makes it a more versatile tool for game-care tasks, like disjointing and prying.
