A drop point is an all-purpose blade. one of the most popular blade profiles in use today. The unsharpened back edge of the knife runs straight from the handle to the tip of the knife in a slow curved manner. The drop point is very popular because of the controllable point and large slicing area of the knife belly. 

Comments: The materials, workmanship and quality control of these knives is excellent. I expect you’ll be very pleased, especially at this price. Good construction, tough, solid, and sharp!!! The damascus will take an incredible edge where the difference in materials seem to create a infinitesimal serrated edge - you can feel it but not see it. Remarkable cutting ability. The natural materials, beautiful patterned steel (a technique that can be traced as far back as 4th C Vikings) and thick genuine leather sheath make it a favorite. People in my re-enactment group love these, like the Medieval equivalent of a pocket knife. Very handy around the camp. Also great for hunting, fishing, skinning and wood carving with the way it fits the hand and the short blade gives great control. 

I’m a collector and a weekend warrior, active in my local Re-enactmnent group and at Renaissance Fairs, so I get lots of feedback. I sell what I own and can recommend! All photo are mine and I try to show you details that are overlooked in manufacturer’s stock photos, and that most sellers seem oblivious to. See my seller ratings and buy with confidence, plus I ship fast!

Manufacturer's Description - Product Details:

• All our Damascus knives have at least 266 layers during the forging process, with many of them surpassing that mark by several layers.
• Our handles are genuine bone, horn, or stag antler. Some also feature walnut or rosewood handles. We do not use resin to make the handles for any of our Damascus product line.
• We use genuine brass in our bolsters, guards, and inlays. We do not use brass plated steel.
• Our Damascus knives and swords are available with a variety of tangs (i.e. full or encapsulated tangs).
• We currently use two combinations of steel in the forging process of our Damascus blades. Some blades will use a blending of 1074 high carbon steel and WS1 mild steel, while others use a combination of 1085 high carbon steel and 15N20 bright steel.
• All our Damascus blades are Rockwell tested between 52 to 58, or higher. This determines the durability of the blade and its ability to hold a fine edge.
• The Damascus knives, swords, and blanks are subject to an “acid wash” that helps accentuate the contrast between the types of steel used in the forging of the blades. Because the tang will typically be covered by whatever handle material is used, that part of the blade is generally not subject to the acid treatment. However, the “swirl pattern” of the contrasting steels that is characteristic of Damascus blades will still be visible when inspected closely.
