Are there any knives that are similar to the Spyderco Yojimbo?

[Z80]

Since the Yojimbo has been discontinued, are there any knives out there like it? I like the blade design. It can be a custom or a production knife. Thanks.

It was based off a traditional Japanese wood working knife.

There was a fixed bladed Yojimbo called the "Ronin"
Check out Mike Snody.

As waffle stated, you could check out Mike Snody, the guy who Michael Janich got to make the originals. Don't know if he's taking orders though.

In the way of production knives along the lines of the Yojimbo, I suspect you might be out of luck, the closest I can think of is the BM Gravitator, Snody's interpretation of Janich's design, but that's also discontinued.

After that, I'm sorry but I think the knife with the closest blade shape would be a box-cutter.

There are still a few floating around. Shouldn't be hard to snag for under $200.

Umm - what's wrong with a regular box-cutter - just kidding

This might be material for a separate thread, but I noticed that Spyderco is quick to discontinue the good stuff and replace it with, well, some "different" designs....

Example:
I am assuming I am not the only one here who would find these three not-as-pleasing-to-the-eye:

Closest thing I can find right now. However, I see one come across Ebay every once in a while...I am an Ebay seller, and always "browse" for competitive pricing. If I see one listed I will let you know.
