Artist or not;) , I think those were some great examples you gave. Clear and understandable. Looking forward to your updates.
I would use the Green River Buffalo Skinner as an example of a trailing point knife, it’s more obvious than the sharp finger pattern, which I actually consider a clip point, I could be wrong wouldn’t be the first time and won’t be the last.
A good topic without a doubt, I tend to lean to drop points because I find them versatile but I really need to give more blade shapes a try.

A drop point is very versatile. It gives up a little belly over a straight spine and even more to a swept point blade so it loses a little bit of slicing power but is capable of things the other two are not as good at. There are things a swept point is horrible at but that is the price of it’s enhanced slicing ability.A drop point is very versatile.

A knife can be both a trialing point and a clip. If the point is higher than the material behind it it is trailing.I am afraid to proof read it.
Someone point out my typos and poor sentences and I will go back and fix them. 🙂
There is a lot to cover but nothing complicated and it should all be easy to understand.
Just a quick line. I work in an emergency dept and I see people almost every day using knives incorrectly or for the wrong things, from pocket knives to machetes. I should subscribe them to this thread.
Cheers

If nothing else, we’ve found the Forum’s Picasso.
Negative. I didn’t see any eyes coming out of the side of someone’s knife.
