Knife Country, USA

The drop point blade is one of the most versatile and widely used blade styles in the knife world. Characterized by a gently sloping spine that “drops” toward the tip, this design creates a strong, controllable point with plenty of belly for slicing. It’s a favorite among hunters, outdoorsmen, and everyday carry users because it balances strength, precision, and utility.

At Knife Country USA, our collection of drop point folding knives spans traditional lockbacks, modern folders, and collectible patterns. Whether you’re after a compact Case executive folder, a lightweight Gerber, or a rugged Rough Rider, our lineup delivers both function and craftsmanship.
