I love the sheepsfoot shape, especially hybrid ones. Here are some examples of what I'm talking about:

Spyderco Pingo
Fox Zero
Fox Mojo
Kershaw Corral Creek
Spyderco Rock Lobster
Benchmade Shori
Benchmade Triage
Sebenza Insingo

Can you tell I like Jens Anso? I'd prefer to stay away from traditional folders (multiblade case, GEC, etc.). They just aren't my style. Does anyone have any suggestions of knives like the ones listed? I prefer less than 3 inches if possible. Some of these are more than 3 inches, but I wanted to show those as an example.
 
Heavily modded Spydie (...to say the least).

All mods 'home made.'

Nanocyl and honeycomb handle scales, titanium clip, blasted blade.
















Did you say hybrids ...!

Modded and cut down Opis

So... like a Wharncliffe with a tip?

I can't get a clear pattern out of the pictures, some I'd regard as just drop points, and some as sheepsfoot hybrids (that are much closer to sheepsfoot than drop point).

I hope this doesn't sound painfully boring, but I always thought the ever-present Kershaw Leek's profile was basically a sheepsfoot/drop point hybrid since it had a long straight edge and came to a sharp tip. Incredibly utilitarian shape, going from flat to a very slight rise at the tip, with the spine having a slight incline down toward the tip over the flat portion that increases as the edge comes up to meet it. The blade is also exactly 3" long. There's a reason they're so popular...

I'm basically looking for a Sheepsfoot with a belly (like the Pingo). I guess that's more descriptive, my bad.
I've got a Leek, I don't mind it. Wharncliffes are a good blade shape for me as well, though I'd prefer it if the edge wasn't straight.
 
Here are some sheepsfoot ish blades that I have. Only the bottom two are 3" or less though.

This may not make anyone applaud my taste, but I really like this Sanrenmu 913P. First off, I teach, so I'm poor lol. But its a great knife and has already withstood a great amount of abuse in the month I've had it.
Anyway, here's a pic of it with it's far classier cousin...

I absolutely love the James Williams designs. I have the Hisshou, Hittatsu FB, and folder. I don't think you could ask for a better combat edge, as far as the tanto design he uses. The folding Hittatsu will go through 3/4" plywood all the way to the thumbstud, with plenty of belly for slicing.
Excillinet choice CitizenPie!

As far as a drop point/ sheep's foot combo The BM Contego may appeal to the OP. Here is a pic.
