Can anyone help me find something similar?

I really like this blade shape but don't like the big logo on the handle :barf: Other than benchmades, is there a knife with a similar blade shape for under or around $80?

Any number of Kershaws would fit the bill. A very quick search of their catalog netted me a couple:

Kershaw Salvo:

Kershaw Zing:

Prices are all well under $80 for the most part and quality is top notch.

Edit:
If you're set on the little swedge you'd have to look a bit harder.
 
Thank you, that is almost the exact same blade shape. Are those good knives? You pay almost the same as the cost for the knife in shipping. Seems fishy...
 
Kershaw has excellent quality across the board, even on their inexpensive offerings. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

They are good knives. I have a Salvo. Fit and finish are good. Takes a razor edge.
 
reminds me of the spyderco centofante if you ONLY look at the blade shape. Pull the thumb stud off and put a hole... change the liner to a lock back and curve the handle..... okay mebbe not so similar
 
For one, if that's a Snap-On knife then it's more than likely a Kershaw. The Snap-On guy always comes by a buddy of mine's shop trying to sell tools and all that, and he also sells knives. They may say Snap-On in ugly letters on the side, but they're really produced by Kershaw. I'm not saying this for sure for this knife, or for all knives that Snap-On distributes, but I know all the ones I've seen from Snap-On have been Kershaws. In my opinion, Kershaw makes great knives. I've been EDCing a Kershaw Tone for over a year now. Very strong knife and only about $30.
 
I own a salvo, picked it up used for 25 bucks, and it easily has the same quality build as many of the 50-60 dollar knives I own. Very nice knife!

Hi Jimjoenick. I'm assuming you are referring to Sanrenmu knives in the above post. I don't own any Sanrenmu (SRM) knives so I cannot personally vouch for the quality, but I've heard good things. Other Chinese manufacturers of similar reputation include Bee, Enlan, and perhaps Navy. There is a lot of content available on YouTube if you'd like to learn more.
 
get a blem'd Damascus Barrage/Salvo from kershawguy for $40:

a Blackout also looks similar to what you're looking for:

there's also a Breakout, but it's an automatic:

and the Vapor III:

Any reason you don't want a Benchmade? A Rift is fairly similar and can be had for around $110. I have seen them barely used in the Exchange area for $80ish and actually got a brand new one here for $75 but I got lucky. It's a great knife.

The reason i don't want a benchmade is the price, im a new driver and still go to school. Right now i can't spend a lot on a knife. Around $100 seems way to excessive for me, ill look for that benchmade though, thank you FlaMtnBkr.

This is a Benchmade 550HG Griptilian. Available under $80 if you look around. I buy all my Benchmades from Grand Prairie right here in %$#@! Illinois (great store, crappy socialist anti-gun state) or from Knifeworks in Louisiana. Two of the best knife suppliers period, but they are extra awesome when it comes to Benchmades.

Did y'all see how Benchmade's MAAP pricing almost lost them a customer? Sheesh!

Minimum Allowable Advertised Price is NOT a good idea. Let the merchants decide what to charge, dammit!
