Was thinking about having a batch of blades cut by waterjet. Figured if I could sell a few I could justify some better tools. What type of blade would sell the most? 4" EDC type? Opinions?

Where they bust the sod in South Tulsa County.
Sheepsfoot.
"Thanks to its long, flat edge, a sheepsfoot blade is perfect for slicing and chopping. Need to cut lengths of rope? Grab a sheepsfoot. Have to chop hard vegetables like carrots to drop in the pot over a campfire? Grab a sheepsfoot.
Beyond slicing, a sheepsfoot is also great for tasks that involve longer knife strokes like opening boxes, slicing through sections of cardboard, and whittling wood. There’s countless uses for a sheepsfoot blade because it is such a basic, straightforward blade style."

While I do like the Sheep's Foot, I have to give my vote to the Warncliffe. Same advantages as the Sheeps Foot, plus the usefulness of an acute point for things like removing splinters, plunge cutting/stabbing, etc.

I mean, I've been wanting a bigger Warncliffe than my SPEW as well ... no one has thus far given me pricing on that thread though.

Drop point
I don’t have any hard data to support the notion, but it seems like drop points, or maybe clip points, are what I see most in fixed blades. I personally like sheepsfoot blades, but they’re uncommon enough in fixed blades that they stand out, which might actually be a selling point…
