Blade shape simular to Random Task

[Slow7]

I purchased a Kershaw Random Task many years ago before there was a II, and have used it as my EDC for a long time. I would like to buy another knife with a similar blade style but can't find one. I have searched for "reverse tanto", and sheepsfoot with no luck. I like a blade with a straight (no curve) edge but still having a point, unlike the sheepsfoot, any suggestions?

Thanks!

That would be a wharncliffe blade, there's a ton out there. The boker G4 and CRKT Eraser off the top of my head

Its a little expensive (for my budget anyway) but check out the Brous Blades Bionic or Bionic 2.0

Spyderco Yojimbo 2 or Kershaw Needs Work

 

[BluegrassBrian]

Kershaw Leek is a popular option that's affordable.
I'm a big fan of the Spyderco Yojimbo 2.

ZT 0808 is for me like Random Task on steroids.

The Spyderco Kiwi 4 might be a consideration if you are looking for "small" but useful. It is a wharncliffe and sufficiently pointy for most things.

Personal picks for Wharnies, EDC friendly:

Fodler:
Spyderco Yojimbo 2
Spyderco Kiwi 4
Spyderco Des Horn
BlackHawk Be Wharned
Many Slipjoints and Traditionals
HARNDS Nyx (Reverse tanto, not 100% wharncliffe)
Benchmade 940 (Popular reverse tanto)

Fixed:
CRKT Spew
CRKT Minimalist Wharncliffe
CRKT Dragon Casper

Of all those, my favorites because of low price and high value, IMO:

The Boker Trance is sort of in the ballpark, even more so if you bob off the nose as there's very little belly. The designer also modded one of his own into what he calls a "Whart," with a more Wharncliffe feel to it.

Thanks!!!

You guys are awesome!! Great suggestions, the only problem is now I want more then just one.

Well, that EO1 by JK Knives is custom built for you and has a price tag of in between $100-150 depending on options and sheath choices.

Knowing that you can have Your knife made For You with Your usage, hand size, blade (length, thickness, shape and grind) scale material, or anything else you want, makes the decision That much easier...
