Any clip point knife will increase your chance of puncturing the Rumen, even if you shield the rumen with your hand.
Clip point and drop point are personal preference only. If you blame your knife on the fact you clipped a rumen then more fool you.
Clip points allow for more intricate work and are great on the smaller deer, (e.g. apple coreing anal passage etc) and drops are bugger and stronger for heavier work.
I have both and like both.
The most popular folding hunting knife is a buck ranger and it is a clip point. Bushcraft and survuval knifes are drop point.
It is more important to find a knife that is well balanced and a good fit for you. Never buy a cheap folding knife (fingers are not easily replaced) and always try to find out what type of steel it is. Stainless is not nearly enough info (cutco is 440A which is sound).
The Cutco has an excellent reputation but DD egde cannot be sharpened except by sending it back to the factory so beware as the factory is in USA.
Buy an Fallkniven F1 and leave the yankee cutlery behind.
