Yeah, I get that. It's for sure not the "Drop ManDu" Andy down under has.Love that Custom Ratmandu, I don't believe it is a drop point however as you thought. It looks like it started life as the standard clip point, with a short length swedge type grind to increase penetration while still keeping a lot of strength behind it as it looks to go to full thickness at the spine at the end of the swedge grind.
Nice! Good view of the hammered silver wear, too. Thanks!
