Brad Zinker's slim design puts a 3.43" VG-10 drop point, just 0.10" thick, in a frame-lock handle with a G-10 front scale. At 1.8 oz it is lighter than any other folder in the catalogue with a blade over 3.3". Boker lists the origin only as Asia, and $184.95 is a lot for VG-10.

Why a drop point

The default hunting and EDC shape, and the safest general answer. The spine curves down to the tip in a convex line, which keeps the point low and strong and leaves plenty of belly for skinning. It is hard to make a drop point bad at anything.
