I agree with what's been said already. Apparently, I'm getting into knife collecting, and no one told me:-)! This knife was my first spear point. I found the shape so simple as to be elegant and beautiful. I love the knife and it is now heavily in my edc rotation. Here is a link to an article that gives concise summaries of blade shapes. https://www.gearexpert.com/2014/04/guide-knife-blade-shapes.html

A spear point just makes the knife easier for piercing if you choose so for this knife....

Aesthetics. It looks like a bay leaf, isn't it beautiful ?

Great for survival by tying it to a long wooden stick for spear-fishing and works great with speed holes for water drainage. :) j/k - I don't know what I am talking about but I agree with the other two answer that the tip lines up with wrist better and looks less menacing (I guess) compared to clip point or tanto.

In terms of folding knives, I think blade shape is preference. But for fixed blade knives spear points allow users to drill into wood with the tip because the point is in line with your wrist. Other than that I don’t see any other benefits.

It looks less menacing to non-knife people. It simply looks cool too. I guess you can say it adds strength to the tip. You cans stab into things with less worry than somthing much more acute at the tip, not that you should be doing much of that with this frame lock.

I don't see how this Cold Steel Spartan would look intimidating to anyone.
