Step into the enduring legacy of knife design with our collection of Clip Point knives at Blade Forge. Recognised by its distinctive "clipped" spine, this iconic blade shape is one of the most widely used and versatile profiles across all knife categories.

What Defines the Clip Point Blade?
The defining characteristic of a Clip Point blade is the concave or straight "clip" on the spine, which extends from approximately the middle of the blade towards the tip. This "clipped" section effectively reduces the blade's profile near the tip, allowing it to taper to a finer, sharper point.
This ingenious design provides several key functional advantages:
-
Exceptional Piercing Ability: The fine, acute point created by the clip is excellent for precise piercing tasks, making it ideal for puncturing materials with minimal effort.
-
Versatile Slicing Edge: Despite its sharp point, the Clip Point typically retains a long, continuous cutting edge (or "belly") that curves gently upwards to the tip. This makes it highly efficient for all types of slicing tasks, from food preparation to opening packages.
-
Enhanced Control: The combination of a sharp point and a comfortable belly allows for precise control during fine cutting work and delicate tasks.
-
Reduced Weight & Drag: The removal of steel from the spine near the tip can slightly reduce the blade's overall weight and minimise drag during piercing.
Why Choose a Clip Point Knife?
A Clip Point knife is a fantastic choice for those who need a truly all-around performer in their toolkit:

Everyday Carry (EDC) Champion: Its balance of piercing and slicing makes it incredibly practical for a wide range of daily tasks.
