Why a clip point
The front third of the spine is 'clipped' away in a concave sweep, dropping the point below the spine line and putting it out in front. That makes a finer, more controllable tip than a drop point — better for piercing, slightly weaker under load. The Buck 110 pattern is the archetype.
Every clip point here →About Tru-Sharp Surgical Steel
Case's proprietary 420HC-class stainless. Chosen for how easily it re-sharpens, which is what traditional pocket knife owners want.
1-5 is a relative ranking drawn from published composition and hardness, not a lab measurement. Higher is better on every axis, and no steel is a 5 across the board — edge retention and toughness pull against each other. All Tru-Sharp Surgical Steel knives
