   I know what a drop point is. I own enough of them. I've ground one on a   
   couple of knives which sure isn't saying much in this group.   
      
   What I was talking about is like they took a mini bit out of it. My big old   
   buck bowie I bought maybe 38 years ago and the marine knife both have a   
   false edge that is dished.
