What kind of point do you favor and why?

 

[SFC JeffJ]

For myself, I have to say the clip point. Especially some of the modified/reinforced ones you are seeing more of thees days.

Why? After stabbing several things, it just felt more "positive" to me. And I like the way they slash as well.

What things did you stab?

A boston butt covered in a shirt then a jacket. I did get a little better penetration with a double edged knife, but the slashes weren't as effective.

I voted clip, just because I find having more belly on the blade comes in useful. I like spear points too.

I like the clip for everyday function. However, if I were in a violent situation it is hard to argue against the dagger. Whether push dagger or fairbain/sykes style dagger, that design is for pure efficiency.

I voted "Spear" because I like the compromise between the Dagger and the Clip. That said, I own and carry knives in a variety of designs.

Clip with a nice sharpened back edge for back cuts.

I like a tanto point for everyday carry. I work as a computer geek, and the yokote "point" works great for opening boxes.
