UNDERSTANDING THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN BLADE TIP SHAPES AND WHY IT MATTERS
To some people, a knife is just a knife. To them, it doesn’t really matter what style of tip or blade the knife offers. They typically are just looking for something sharp to cut open the next Amazon Prime package. But, in reality, each style of tip offers a specific purpose. When a person begins to understand this, then purchasing a knife has just gotten a lot more confusing. What once was thought of as a simple purchase now becomes a complex decision. Not only do buyers have to figure out what style of knife they want, such as a fixed blade, pocketknife, folding knife, and so on, but they also have to make the decision as to what style of tip they want.
Covering all the options knife buyers have when selecting a knife would take up a small book. The focus today, however, is to cover some of the more popular knife tips and what practical purposes they serve in your day-to-day activities or in a variety of real-life scenarios that we find ourselves infrequently.
“NO MATTER YOUR NEEDS, THERE’S A BLADE AND TIP TO FIT YOUR SPECIFIC TASK TO MAKE YOUR LIFE JUST A BIT EASIER!”

KITCHEN KNIVES DON'T HAVE TO BE DULL
I have a confession to make. See if this sounds familiar. I take meticulous care of the knives I use for everyday carry, hunting, and general woods wandering. I wipe them down with an oily cloth after use and I never let them get too dull. Seldom do I have to restore a damaged edge. Most of the time I simply touch up the edges of my pocketknives with a few careful strokes across the rough bottom of a ceramic coffee cup. That’s usually all that’s needed. I don’t use my knives as screwdrivers or pry bars. As a matter of fact, I still have the very first knife I ever owned, an old Boy Scout knife that was handed down from my older brother. The blades have a deep patina that comes with using carbon steel over the years, but the knife is very usable still.
