Collection: Trailing Point Knives

Discover the elegant curves and exceptional slicing power of our Trailing Point knives collection at Blade Forge. Characterised by a blade whose spine curves upwards from the handle, lifting the tip above the line of the spine, the Trailing Point offers a distinct aesthetic combined with impressive utility. For knife enthusiasts in Australia who prioritise graceful lines, extended belly for slicing, and a fine, controllable point, a Trailing Point knife is an outstanding choice for precision and versatility.

What Defines the Trailing Point Blade Shape?
The Trailing Point blade is instantly recognisable by its unique, upward-sweeping profile:

• Upward-Curving Spine: The most defining feature is how the spine of the blade gradually or sharply curves upwards from the handle, extending past the line of the cutting edge.
• Elevated Tip: This upward sweep results in a tip that sits higher than the knife's spine and often higher than the handle itself.
• Large, Sweeping Belly: The upward curve of the spine creates an expansive, continuous curve on the cutting edge (the belly). This long, uninterrupted belly is key to its slicing prowess.
• Fine, Acute Point: While the tip is elevated, it's typically very acute and fine, making it excellent for delicate piercing or intricate work.

Why Choose a Trailing Point Knife? Precision & Artistry
Choosing a Trailing Point knife means opting for a tool that excels in specific cutting tasks while offering a distinctive aesthetic:

• Exceptional Slicing Performance: The long, sweeping belly is a slicing machine. It allows for continuous contact with the material, making it ideal for tasks like preparing food, skinning game, or any application where a long, clean slice is required.
• Fine & Precise Piercing: The acute, elevated tip is excellent for delicate piercing, making it suitable for intricate detail work or starting cuts with pinpoint accuracy.
• Aesthetic Appeal: The elegant, flowing lines of a Trailing Point blade are highly attractive and give the knife a sophisticated, almost artistic appearance.
• Versatile Utility (Specific Tasks): While not ideal for heavy chopping or prying (due to the fine tip), it excels in a broad range of everyday and specialized tasks that benefit from its slicing capability.
• Good for Skinning and Filleting: Its long, curved belly makes it particularly well-suited for skinning animals and filleting fish, allowing for long, uninterrupted cuts without snagging.
