I am looking for a really stout carry knife.

Ideally it would be about the size of a Roman dagger
perhaps the diamond design.

I am not really interested in a historical reproduction unless it uses state of the art materials and is of a quality that is totally reliable.

Also I would like a convex edge like the Rockstead has.
Although that brand is way overpriced. Those are the kind of prices
you see when the demographic of a country is all old people and no young turks are interested in competing.

It should be five fingers wide and thick.
The hilt must have a guard, a bump in the middle like the Romans did and the
pommel must afford a good grip for pulling it out and to use as a hammer.

Of course it must be double edged with the groove to defeat suction.

Any one ever hear of such a thing? I haven't been able to find anything online that is even close. Any help or hints will be much appreciated.

Blood grooves, don't reduce suction, what uses is the dagger going to see?

In before someone posts "how about a smatchet".

Really tho, I think you'll have a hard time finding a roman dagger style knife that uses modern materials outside of the custom arena. Good luck, it will be a cool knife for sure.

For current production knife the closest thing I can think of is a BRKT Clax.

Not really close to Roman dagger style, but definately has a groove.

As suggested probably your best bet is a custom build.
