In addition to information about the serrated shape of pocket knives, we are ready to share information with you about other useful blade shapes. Many types of knife blades are used in everyday work and special tasks. Some shapes can overlap like we talked about the Spyderco Atlantic Salt above. This pocket knife has a serrated blade, it has a drop-point shape - with a slightly raised sharp tip. Let's look at some examples of different blade shapes. Straight Back Blade This design is the most common. Most people consider this knife shape to be the norm for a kitchen knife. The flat back of the knife allows you to press on the knife with extra effort. This makes it convenient for both regular slicing and chopping and slicing a more solid product. Clip-Point Blade This type is a bit similar to the Drop-Point blade, but the blade angles are more precise, which makes working with this blade more precise. In addition, the obligatory pocket clip is located on the side in front. Tanto Blade The Tanto Blade is shaped like a dagger. A quality blade steel allows you to easily pierce hard objects easily, especially if you need to pierce a hole. Hawkbill Blade The tip of the Hawkbill Blade curves down in an arc to create the shape of a claw. Its long backside with a concave blade is more specialized than most blades. It will not be suitable for everyday carry, but suitable for specific purposes, such as gardening or leather working. Blunt Tip Blade The blade of this knife has a blunt end for safety reasons. So the peculiarity of this tool is that, unlike most knives, this one does not have a sharp tip, so we can call it highly specialized. Such knives are mainly used by kayakers, boaters, and divers when cutting lines or ropes. Trailing-Point Blade The back of the Trailing-Point blade has a sharply upward curved blade that forms a deep upward curve. This knife is often used by hunters for skinning. Working with such a knife is extremely easy, as the shape allows you to make small cuts, and the light weight makes it easy to control the blade. Gut Hook This is a blade specially designed for hunting and fieldwork. The knife is made in such a way that you do not need additional tools, for example, when processing leather or meat. For this reason, for many people, this knife looks quite unusual. The belly of the knife is sharp and even. They can easily and without unnecessary difficulties remove the skin. At the same time, the knife has a hook on the back, the main feature of this tool. The sharpened hook is designed to open the insides of an animal without damaging muscle.
