I really love the more aggressive clip point blade shape (unsure if aggressive is the right word - maybe with a bit of extra on the top swedge area).

I see this in things like Pena's Lanny or as often in Laconico (like the Minpin) as below.ARuyssV.jpg pena-x-series-lanny-clips-marbled-carbon-fiber-handle.jpg

I'd like to know what else is out there I am missing.

Other's that have caught my eye:
Purvis Primordial (unsure how I feel about a recurve)
Kizer Intrepid

What are some others? Anyone else with me in my love for this blade shape?
 
Just curious, is it that you just happen to "like" the blade shape or have you found something particularly/uniquely useful about it? Meanwhile, I'll start looking around. ;) (Kershaw shallot comes to mind) :)

Strictly appearance. It's a vanity blade shape :)
 
Maybe not the most traditional clip point but perhaps the Spyderco Chinook 4 tickles your fancy? Looks mean to me.

I make up tenuous reasons why it might be advantageous, none of which fools even myself. But, yeah, like you I just love the look. The Cold Steel Recon-1 is a mean clip, but I just can’t get on with the ergos. Yes, Triad lock, blah blah blah, Omega springs, blah blah blah, but give me the Crooked River every time.
 
The Reate Pena Lanny flipper is such a beautiful knife, and a pretty good deal. I very much want one, only the S35VN is holding me back.

Good quality knife. I have one.
 
have you looked at the Svord Peasant Clip - I just ordered one as a gift, and now I'm thinking that I need one for me too
 
The Berg Blades Iron Pup and Iron Wolf are awesome clips!

Cold Steel Espada and Cold Steel Recon 1 both have excellent clip points. Also look at the Emerson CQC-12 and CQC-13. I greatly prefer a curved clip point with a swedge - it just does it for me aesthetically. I still wish Cold Steel made a 4" Espada with polished bolsters. I would buy that in a heartbeat.

The Crooked River and Recon 1 are probably the most practical EDC clip points that match my own personal tastes in clip points.

I love the clip points on the Buck 110 and the Cold Steel Code 4. Probably my favorite looking blade shape. The closer to a classic Bowie style the better!
 
As stated above, the Cold Steel recon 1 is a rugged clip point lockback made out of S35VN steel. I like the looks of Benchmades Crooked river also (especially the g-10) but it’s not in my collection yet. Maybe someday.
