Drop Point VS Tanto on Axis/Mini-Axis Styker
I was looking at the Styker series. They look and seem great. I was wondering what you guys like / prefer for blade shape on these and why?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Drop point because that's what I like though I own both. 0 -
I wanted to like the tanto but for what I use my knife for, the straight edge is not the best approach, although it's super easy to sharpen. 0 -
Tanto style geometries are optimized for strength while piercing tough materials, but my use cases are overwhelmingly slicing and cutting instead of piercing. So aside from the fact that I don't really like the assthetics of a tanto blade, they're just not as practical for me. Lose-lose.
(I meant to say aesthetics above, but the Freudian slip was amusing so I left it in.)

I would like it, if "Tanto" is "Osborne Tanto" 0 -
Voted Drop Point, especially considering this will most likely be your EDC (I'm thinking practicality in a utility sense).
Great all-around blade grind with good belly & strength.0 -
Another drop point here. I don't have a need for a tanto shape blade. My needs are more for slicing and cutting. 0 -
drop point. have had tons of both. 0 -
I have a tanto mini stryker and it's nowhere near as useful for EDC as a drop point would be for me. 0 -
Unanimous so far for the drop point. 0 -

Great all-around blade
Looks like I will be getting the drop point then
Yeah I only have one sub 3" knife and its a sub 2.5" for Chicago carry. I have larger 3" - 4" folders but was looking for one under 3" but larger than 2.5" and the Stryker fits the bill.
EDIT: This is my sub 2.5" knife by the way

It'd be unanimous for "reverse tanto" if that was an option haha!
Jason, is there any hope for future reverse tanto designs after Osbourne's passing?0 -
I own several of each & it's a 908bk-1501 in my left rear pocket nearly every day. 0 -

Just got em!
Here is some pics for you-all. They are both great. I love the 1401 version of the Contego so much more. It is amazing.

The only tanto blade I've ever liked is the Chris Reeve tanto. I'm not usually a fan. 0 -
