Spear Point in stock
A spear point is a symmetrical profile where the spine and the edge curve toward each other so the point sits on the blade’s centerline. It gives balanced, predictable penetration and is common on traditional pen knives and throwing designs.
Draw a line down the middle of the blade and a true spear point is close to a mirror image above and below it. That places the tip exactly on the axis of the blade, so force applied along the handle runs straight to the point.
Many spear points carry a false edge or swedge on the upper curve. That is not the same as a dagger, which is symmetrically sharpened on both sides for its full length.
On traditional multi-blade pocket knives the main blade is very often a spear point, and it is a common secondary blade on stockman patterns. It also shows up on modern folders where the maker wants a neutral, all-purpose profile.
It has moderate belly and a moderately strong tip. Like the drop point, it is a generalist rather than a specialist.
