This makes the clip blade into a much better weapon and allows the knife to make back cuts with the back edge of the blade. Larger examples of the clip point may have a sharpened false edge to increase penetration. This is a versatile all-around design, which is why it's still very common. Some clip point designs have a very fine point that can be quite delicate (this is especially common on pocketknives). The clip point offers some belly like a drop point or spearpoint blade, but in most cases, the clipped tip offers increased penetration over those blade styles. Some drop point designs borrow heavily from clip point, spear point, or wharnecliffe style blades. The typical drop point has lots of belly and may or may not have a pronounced point for increased penetration. One of the most classic and enduring of knife designs. While the wharncliffe's fine point can get into small areas, it's also much more delicate than the standard sheepsfoot. This is a popular blade type these days, but I don't like it as much as the sheepsfoot. This is pretty much a sheepsfoot with an enlongated point.
I favor stockman-pattern slipjoint knives for this reason. This makes it THE best choice for opening packages (short of a box cutter). This is because the sheepsfoot blade is capable of making "razor cuts" like a utility knife. I am a HUGE fan of the sheepsfoot blade for folding pocketknives.
