I'm looking for a knife similar to the Cold Steel OSI, regarding blade shape and dimensions. The blade shouldn't be larger, but the handle has to be out of another material. Means, not such a soft rubber and with a solid
guard, preferably full tang. Don't have found one till now.
Does anybody have an idea? Would be great.
Thanks in advance.
 
Typed subhilt into search bar (knives, swords and blades category) of big auction site and 374 listings came up.
 
OP - I'm sure you've thought of this, but just in case, I'd advise you to visit the Fixed Blade Exchange here & either snag a custom you like or find a maker with the styling & pricing you like & ask him to build you what you want. The knife you're describing can be built for you by more than a few BF members/makers for $150ish, give or take depending on....well, everything, but - even on the lower end of the $ scale you'll get the exact knife you want with better steel than Cold Steel uses & way way way better scales. And you'll have a one of a kind knife to be proud of....you can show it off to friends & family, perform all sorts of knife related tasks with flare, stab folks with it, whatever floats your goat. Best of luck bro, I hope you get what you want!

Of course, I have had in mind to let one build by a knife maker. But for my last knives I paid around 800 $ and I like to get this one a little bit cheaper. And some good companies offer quite well crafted stuff. But for sure, a good knife maker is hard to beat. Thanks for the tip.
 
OK, COld Steel OSI (8.25" blade) minus subhilt with full tang and non rubber handle.

If you wanted to be a little crafty, buy your own and craft it yourself. Lots of fun and very rewarding. Premium knife supply carries these, just remove second hilt and add scales.

Just an idea.

The blackjack 1-7 is similar but does have a shorter blade at 7".

Pig hunter and Blackjack are indeed good ideas, but 8 inches of blade length is the minimum, also not longer than 9.
