It's a hollow-ground drop point blade of S30V. I'm not aware of any that are an exact match.
Lots of folks make drop point blades. Not so many make hollow-ground blades these days. The popular trend these days is for "tough" knives. Hollow-ground blades are great slicers, but have less steel in them, so they usually don't qualify as "tough". Howsoever, I've used hollow ground blades for decades and have never broken one.
I've carried my Vantage Pro a lot over the last 9 months. I've used it in the garden and for any number of odd jobs. No chips. No failures. Locks solid. Feels good in the hand.
