What's your favorite blade shape?

[JRL]

Tanto, straight back, curved, speartipped?

What tickles your fancy?


I'm a tanto man, no real reason, just what has always caught my eye.

Different shapes for different uses.

I like drop point blades for utility, clip point Bowie style blades for collecting, and tanto is probably the oldest and arguably the best for blade shape for self defense.

I prefer a 4 inch drop point hunter all around.

The spyderco leaf blade on the sage series. It has served me well.

I have many desired blades. Tanto, spear point, drop point.
I like too many to pick only one.

This one! Life is too short to pick just one!

My favorite is a simple drop point.

This is kinda like trying to pick which one of your kids you like better. Different blades for different strokes (every pun intended). Just a lot to be said for a drop point, and a Wharnnie for EDCing.

I have to dress up for work most of the time and I lean toward fixed blades that disappear in a back pocket with a pocket sheath. Eddie White's XX, Michael Morris' designs, a couple from BHK, especially the Drover. The inportant thing is knowing it's there when you need it.

Favorite to look at is a reverse tanto/wharncliffe. Favorite to use is a drop point with a big belly!

 

[chubbs]

Drop point or tanto depending on use

 

[rhino]

Drop point!

I used to love the tanto, and for piercing it's really hard to beat. However, the spear point has become my new favorite. The SOG Spec Elite blade shape is very appealing to me. Looks like it offers a good compromise between the traditional clip point and tanto. A tanto with a mild curve along the belly would probably grab my attention as well.
