I'd pass on a drop point, but make it a leaf blade just like the original and I'll spring for a couple.

I'd be in for either drop point or leaf, or (be still my heart) a wharnie.

aren't you tired of leaf, the last PKs that I know S110V HH S30V LC200N are all leaf
some other blade shape else please, drop point or wharnie or rescue, not just another set of scales...

When I did the polls for the DAMAUKPK, while about a third preferred drop point, only 5% said they would not buy a leaf.

viewtopic.php?t=87014#p1432725

This may have been more about showing off the pattern than anything else, so maybe not an accurate reflection.

You are obviously all about the drop-point, in the same way that I am all about the UKPK. To be honest, I probably need professional help, but that is besides the (drop) point.

Why don't you throw down and push for a nicer drop-point? Do some polls and feel them out, see if it gets traction. I pledge to buy one if it gets made, for what its worth.

I'm not all about drop point but I would like to see another blade shape in UK PKs as I said there were plenty of leafs done already with this model.

This topic was about CF scales, so why not try another blade shape along with that CF.

In a word, no. I have enough ugly knives without adding humps where they don't accomplish anything more than increasing the turn radius of a cut.

Honestly, while I aesthetically prefer the leaf, the drop point has more belly towards the tip which I find useful when doing stuff like slicing pizza, as it is easier to control the cut and not puncture the box with the tip.

Like I said in the original nasal thread, I would love to see a wharncliffe. But that would make this knife even harder to get because of demand.

Sorry.
I think I have you mixed up with someone else.
