Hi yall I keep reading about spike points and hollow points. and are wondering what they are? thanks
The tip of a spike will come to an abrupt end, a ninety degree angle leaving that very tip ultra sharp. A square tip that is not a spike will have that very tip slightly rounded off to remove the threat.
Thanks guys yeah I just noticed i wrote hollow instead of round... :shrug: Personally I blame the mad as toothache I've had since last night. Off to the dentist this afternoon to get the offending molar removed.. Sigh payback for years of dental neglect.
I always thought spike points weren't perfect 90* tips. My Red Imp looks almost like it juts out slightly. /_ like that.
Here's a typical spike. Typical I'm it's shape..... Extraordinary razor though.

I always called them square tip or square point, they are my favorite type of blade...so spike point it is then!
And yes, that's a very nice blade!!
Thanks!
