I am looking for a knife with blades of either VG10 or S30V of 3 inch or more. Have looked at the Calypso and Jr but they are no longer being made. Have also looked at the Mil, dont like the short blade to handle ratio. What would you suggest?
 
You might want to try finding a fully serrated Lum Chinese folder. They are out of production, but some are still around. (Plainedge is still in production).

There are some G-10 Police w/ the full flat grind, however, the steel is ATS-55. Spyderco lists the blade at 4 1/8" (104mm).

Carlos & Dialex --

Great suggestions!:) The Lum is 3 3/16" (80 mm) in VG-10 w/ liner lock and the Lil' T is 3" (76mm) in CPM 440V w/ nested Compression lock.


One other I had forgot to list is the Military at 4" (102mm) in CPM 440V w/ liner lock.

The Calypso is a 4" VG-10 w/ lock back.
 
I know a place that has a SE #ed Lum if anyone is interested.
