Most Japanese square points have a little section at the tip just taken off at an angle and all Filarmonica square points have what I class as very safe points very nicely rounded off slightly, the first one in the lineup is the only true spike point I own at this present time if you look you can see even though they are all square points there is a noticeable difference to the very toe and finish.
