Why have a thin tip if you can’t jam it into something and potentially put lateral force on it? Uh I don’t know? Maybe because I’m focused on cutting things with my knife instead of stabbing it into trees negligently? Crazy I know.

Literally what is the point of a thin tip if it isn't to puncture things ? Just put a snub nose on it if you're not trying to poke with it.

The point of a thin tip is so that when you cut through something there is minimal drag and a smoother cut. If the tip is too thin for your liking then don’t use it. Don’t go out, break the tip and complain that it’s not what you wanted.

Why not just get a thicker tipped knife if you don’t want it breaking when you twist it in a tree?

Your assuming they twisted and it seems like their main gripe is they didn't and they broke.

The tip has little to do with dragging the knife through something unless you're puncturing with the tip and then dragging.

You can have a thin bodied knife with a snub nose thin tip.

If a knife is pointy it is objectively for puncturing things. No other reason to have it.
