But because it has a curve the curve actually cut into the paper towels as I glided it across the paper towel roll. The drop/clip point, on the other hand, started out like the wharncliffe. The wharncliffe cuts were in fact consistent throughout the cut, which played to its disadvantage compared to a drop/clip point. ![]() However, with all 3 knives I found the wharncliffe to make more shallow cuts. I tried them on an industrial paper towel roll inside jeans so that could have had an impact on results since it's hard material, probably significantly harder than flesh. I tried the wharncliffe vs the drop/clip point Delica, Dragonfly, and Manbug today. Once the blade straightens out since it still has a tip it will cut the full length of the blade but with the benefit of the curve opening the way first whereas with the wharncliffe initially it would require more force to make the cut deep since it had no curvature to slice so you're basically chopping the initial cut and as such run the risk of not making the initial cut deep enough and as such making the entire cut more shallow than it could have been? However, if it's a horizontal slash where only a part of the blade will make contact, such as a self-defense slash to the upper body, then wouldn't a drop/clip point have an advantage? Because of the curved tip it allows the blade to make the initial cut with less force needed and therefore cuts deeper initially because it makes contact with the curve. If you slash something like a hand where the entire length of the blade traverses then a wharncliffe would indeed have an advantage because it would allow equal pressure to be applied throughout the cut as the tip doesn't curve upwards. I've been giving it much though and came out more confused than before. Slashing or pull cuts will always be more efficient with a wharncliffe versus the other blade profiles.
