I know this is a question that will lead towards other brands of knives but who better to ask than my fellow HOGS and Piglets;) Plus, I am going bomkers waiting for my BA-E to return home with her new finish :D

Anyway, I am looking for knives with the same type of design/shape/ergonomics as the CRKT Ryan Plan B or the TOPS Cheetah. Or even better: the Sayoc Tactical Drop Point. The knife has that sort of bent look to it. I have no idea what that design is called but my Ryan Plan B felt really comfortable. All that being said I am looking for "that" type of design with better steels. The SYOC blade mentioned above would definately qualify but are there others out there? Thanks bros.
 
Here are some pics to help!

Thanks.

Perhaps this is a job for the "Custom Shop" (muahahahahhahahaha).

within busse combats lines you'll be hard pressed to find a knife with that dramatic of a drop in it. if this is directed solely at other brands, it really does belong in the general blade discussion forum.
 
Moved to the "General" forum by ME! Just let this one die and if you have any ideas you can add them there. Thanks for the ideas guys. Now back to my INFI as there is yard work to be done. ;)

some of the smaller HI blades fit your that rough basic design

Seth, what are the specs on that? Looks like an awesome blade! :thumbup:
 
The very early E-handles had a much more pronounced handle drop than the later and much more common ones. I know this is true of the Steel Heart. I don't know if any NO-Es and BA-E's were made this way or not. In the several years I have been here, I recall seeing only one for sale on the aftermarket, and it was a SH-E on E-Bay.

Call Jerry or Garth. Maybe they have an old blank, and you could have what you want in INFI. For a price, of course.:D
 
there have been a few biltons (wich is the model name from Himalayan Imports) wich are around 9" and 6oz in size that have the white metal handles. with the smaller ones i beleive they are cast alluminum or whatever metal is available.

the 12" siru's are basically the same design and blade drop, only 12" in size.


the grind is in 2 parts, both sloping towards the edge. so the main area that looks like its "full spine thickness" is actually just a very acute angle, and then you get to the "main grind" wich is less accute, going directly to the actual cutting edge. its a kind of like a mix between saber and full flat. your trying to get the strength of the saber grind, but the slicing ability of full flat.

I have a BA-E (currently getting a face lift :D ) and it does not have an extreme angle to it. So it must be a later model. As soon as it returns I will forget all of this. It is my absolute favorite blade. I guess I am board. :rolleyes:

Thanks for the info. :thumbup:
 
I just want to add that a karambit outline is opposite of the Sayoc Tactical's purpose.

The angle of the Sayoc blade was specifically designed to allow the arm and fist to be aligned for thrusting. So you're basically punching with the knife without any adjustments to the wrist.

For slashing, the angle adds extra depth into the target.

It has been a huge favorite for individuals primarily trained with firearms since they already have that motion in their muscle memory. The light and flat design is also favored by many of our students in the military.

Thanks for the insight Sun Helmet. And everyone else. I'm still looking but that is part of the fun.

A while back my friend was going to make a knife similar to the Sayoc Tac. Drop Point for our group at the time. Same ergonomics in mind. But he moved on to other things. All I can say is that there are so many talented knife makers out there. Many here on BF. Perhaps I will approach one and see what it will cost to design one to my liking.

Thanks again bros. :)
 
Daniel does some awesome work. I was close to buying one of his Dankuras (sp?). It says nothing available currently but I will contact him to see when a new batch is due. Thanks man. :)
