CRKT's Fulcrum 2 opens with its own Fulcrum mechanism and locks with a liner, on a 3.18" 8Cr13MoV spear point. The glass-reinforced nylon handle has a stainless bolster, which helps push it to 4.7 oz. That is heavy for a sub-3.5" budget folder.

Why a spear point

Symmetrical or near-symmetrical about the centreline, so the point sits in the middle of the blade. Strong tip, even penetration, less belly than a drop point.
