Spear point knives typically have a blade that is symmetrical (or near-symmetrical), a point that is located on the centreline of the blade’s long axis and a strong tip that is good for piercing. Because the tip is inline with the blade and handle, most people find spear point knives easy and 'natural' to control.
Spear point knives can be single or double edged and they usually have a small belly area that can be used for slicing, but they are less optimal than a drop point or clip point knife. These useful features have lead to their use as throwing knives, daggers, boot knives, diver’s knives and more.
