Fallkniven Gripen 3G Edition Alternatives

[lzhryan]

Ive been absolutely drooling over how beautiful the Fallkniven limited edition gripen knife is designed

I however am not drooling over the price of it

Full tang, has a guard, nice confident blade length (101mm/3.97"), 4.5mm/.177" thick

Im fine without the 3G steel, I can deal with other steel types just with more maintenance

Im wondering if anyone knows of any alternative lookalikes to this knife. The main thing im looking for is really the design of the knife.
Closest I can think of are the bob loveless classic drop point series that Bark River has but BR also breaks the bank

Ichiro Hattori makes that knife, as well as all other Fallkniven fixed blades. I have one standard thermorun F13G that is a user, and an F13GLE in green micarta that is so pretty I've yet to actually use.
Hattori makes a number of knives that are similar (size/grind) to the F13G in VG10, and Cowry-X damascus but they are expensive.
Not sure if the same F1 flat grind is a necessity, but Hattori also makes the HT-105 Dream Hunter, in Aus8 which is more like a "chute" knife
still strongly resembles the F13GLE.
