Information

Clip Point Blade A blade on which the back line breaks and slants downward to produce a finer and more useful point.
Also, a blade format where the top of the blade has a cutout (or "clip") at the top of the blade. The cutout is either concave or straight. Clipping the blade brings the point of the knife lower, for control. It also makes the tip sharper.
Since the sharp point is one of the goals of this format, the clip is often accompanied by a false edge. This format is often combined with a good-sized curving belly, for slicing ability. The combination of a controllable, sharp point and plenty of belly makes the clip point an excellent all-around format. |
| • |
Drop Point Blade Characterized by a slow convex-curved drop in the point. The drop-point format lowers the point for control, but leaves the point extremely strong.
It's usually coupled with plenty of belly for slicing, making it ideal for hunting knives. An extremely good all-around format that also shows up on tactical and utility knives. |
| • |
Serrated Blade Scallops in the edge that allow a sawing action; ideal for cutting things like seat-belts and plastic rope |
| • |
Fixed blade A fixed blade knife does not fold or slide, and is typically stronger due to the tang, the extension of the blade into the handle, and lack of movable parts. |
| • |
Hook Blade The inside of the hook is sharp and the outside edge dull, so that a rope or animal skin can be cut without cutting the surface that the knife travels along.
These blades are used by hunters for gutting animals and by emergency rescue people for cutting seat belts without harming the wearer |
| • |
Folding KnivesAny knife that allows the blade to be folded into the handle. Pocketknives, Folding hunters, etc. |
| • |
Pocket KnivesAny knife that can be comfortably carried in a pocket. May have several blades. Almost always a folding knife. |
| • |
Pocket ClipA clip intended to keep a knife or other tool at the top of the pocket for easy access |
| • |
Titanium NitrideA corrosion-resistant, silvery, metallic chemical element that occurs in rutile and ilmenite. Its strength and light weight make it useful in the manufacture of alloys for the aerospace industry. |
