Rex: "Dropped" tangs are no longer offered as an option when ordering. The Model #5 has a natural "slight" drop but nothing significant. "Teardrop" shaped handles are limited to certain models and have limitations of their own. For instance: You cannot get finger grips, etc. with a "teardrop". Hope this helps. Best, Capt. Chris
