It's a neat chart and all, but most of the names tell me nothing about the functions of the shapes ("skinning" is pretty obvious, but what's a "drop point" for?). I'm guessing they all have *some* specific function to justify the form, but I don't know what those would be.
Yep it’s not very clear is it? The drop point is a popular shape for mis-sized hunting knives and my personal favourite. The Bowie is a popular shape for fighting/camp knives… I think most of it is personal preference for the most part but…whadda I know?
