OK I don't know what to call this type of blade shape, but to me it makes me think of a bowie or persian or upswept type.
Examples of what I have in mind are:
1] Emerson CQC16 To me this is a "bowie" type in a folder.

2] Spyderco Chinook 3 and Spyderco Persian 2. No sure what to call this but I like these 2.

Are there any other blades with similar design and dimensions in a production folder?
 
I haven't gotten to use it yet, but I'd recommend that new benchmade bedlam posted by SF

I just picked one of these up recently in a trade - the JD Smith has the best fit and finish I've seen on a Spyderco knife. Even the liners and inside of the back spine is polished. Opens and closes as smooth as silk.

The CQC-13 is the knife Mr. Emerson designed after the Bowie, similar looks to the 16 but without the flared spine. In my mind probably the least sheeple friendly production knife, it looks MEAN (read: awesome)

Does a buck 110 or 112 qualify? Not sure if the clip is pronounced enough on them.
 
:thumbup: on the Spyderco JD Smith! Love mine, smooth as silk and feels like it starts slicing before it even touches its target.
 
Oh, and if you can find an old one, the Camillus Heat is as well. I have one that was produced not too long before Camillus went out of business. It's a pretty nice medium sized assisted opener, with a slightly bowie style blade.
