- Bowie or clip-point – the blade is curved, if you look at it from the side, then in shape it looks a bit like a duck's beak. The blade is thin and long. Such a knife belongs to the category of universal - it is suitable directly for hunting, for skinning carcasses, for household purposes.
- Drop point – the blade is drop-shaped, the tip is clearly in the center, making it equally convenient to finish off and butcher game with such a knife. Be sure to say that this type of knives is reliable and durable.
- Spear point – the canvas is curved outward, the tip is massive. The butt is partially sharpened. A knife for those who prefer to hunt with melee weapons. Powerful and durable.
- Dagger – the blade is thin, long, the butt is turned into a blade. Due to the fact that the lines of both blades are symmetrical, it allows you to deliver powerful penetrating blows. Since the blade of the dagger is quite thin and double-edged, it cannot be classified as universal and used for household or auxiliary purposes.
- Skinner – the blade is short, wide, with a smooth rounded tip. The line of application of force runs along the edge of the blade. The main purpose of such a knife is to skin the game, it cannot be used for other purposes.
