Drop point is a style ofknifeblade that slopes on the spine of the blade from thehandle of the knife to the tip of the blade. This allows the spine of the blade (where the blade is thicker, and thus stronger) to continue forward to the tip of the blade. This way the point is also aligned with the center axis of the knife, eliminating any pitch momentum when stabbing.
Thecurve on the top of a drop-point blade is alwaysconvex, which is what distinguishes it from aclip point blade. The drop point is a common design for hunting.[1]
