I prefer a drop point or a reversed curved knife

May I ask what will you use it for?

I use it primary to open cardboard boxes. Not very heroically :-/

But I would use it for self defense too if necessary.

Do you know how to sharpen it, if it will become stub?

I don't want to use a grinding stone, because I am not expierienced enough to handle it properly. I could ruin it.

If you buy a sharpening stone you should get a couple of stones like a soft stone and a hard stone or if they sell them where you live a GATCO Four Stone Diamond Sharpening System

Thank you! Exactly for this I have looked. You can fix the knife and you will keep the angle with it.  :)

It is also good to get ceramic sharpeners they are good for the touch ups to the blade
