Drop-point knives

Drop-point

— one of the most common modern profiles. The cutting edge in the back and middle part is straight, and in the front it rises up to the point; the butt has a similar shape, but, usually, it is not so sharply bent towards the tip as the blade. As a result, the profile is asymmetrical, and the tip is above the common axis of the blade. In general, "drop points" combine versatility, reliability and low cost, which led to their distribution.
