More like a ppt blade shape would look better, or a yojimbo2 blade shape :)

Ok, the UKPK shot is a drop point? I think of a Bob Loveless when I hear drop point.

Doesn't look bad though, a small Stretch, sort of.

Pretty neat Blev...gives me an idea what it would look like. I love the drop point blades.
I'm an older guy that finds smaller knives to my liking. So to buy a bigger knife to get a
drop point would be counter productive.

Thanks Blev.........

You might be able to find a baby Goddard still. They did a red micarta sprint.

I'm with you; I like the aesthetic of a clip
/drop/trailing point.

Well not a true drop point, but you need the hole in the blade so you have the hump. I think I would call the UKPK and Stretch blade shape more of a semi-skinner, but close enough.

Exactly, and the semi-skinner is an excellent all around blade shape.
