[wingmanl]

What are the current offerings (can't afford to get a AFCK at current prices) of knives like this that are around 3" blades?

I know in the past BM make an axis lock with an oblong hole in it. Spyderco makes an axis knife called the d'allara. I own one and like it quiet a bit. Its a very stout knife, a bit over three inches i think.

Benchmade offers a Griptilian and Mini-Grip with thumbholes. I own one of each and love them, especially the new upgraded steel. However, these Grips have what BM calls a 'modified sheepsfoot' pattern. It has enough belly for my uses but some might miss a clearly defined spearpoint.
