What Is a Drop Point Blade and When You Need One 

When you imagine a simple, conventional hunting knife, you probably imagine a drop point blade.
A drop point blade is characteristic of your classic hunting knife. It’s a useful blade that generally measures 3.5 to 6 inches long.
Physically, the point is lower than the center spine of the knife coming out from the handle, generally dropping in the final third of the blade - thus, the name “drop point.”
This design makes for a point that’s strong and heavy, but still useful enough for fine detail work. Most drop point blades also have a little bit of belly to the edge, allowing for more cutting action.
