Is There a Knife Like this?

[XMP]

I'm looking for a particular style of knife and can't quite find what I'm looking for. I want carbon steel (1095/A2/01), full tang (not hidden), clip point or bowie, single guard, neutral grip, probably sabre grind, in the 5-7" range.

The closest thing I've seen to what I'm thinking of is a Patton mini-Bowie. The BRKT Teddy Hunter would be close, if it had a full tang. Even a full tang single guard Kabar wouldn't be bad. Any suggestions (and pictures) would be appreciated.

I know you said carbon steel, but the Fallkniven S1 sounds pretty close. The laminated VG10 is pretty good IMO.

GL Drew is another of the custom guys who makes a great knife at a reasonable price.

Most of his stuff doesn't have guards, I'm including this link to show he can do em. He also works with 1095. I have one of his $65 specials and it's a great knife.

The Fallkniven Odin or Njord have the blade shape I'm thinking of, but I really do want carbon steel and full tang.

I do want more of a "old school" look.

The Patton Mini-Bowie is pretty close, but a little spendy:

The Bark River Boone or Teddy Hunter would fit the bill too, if they had full/exposed tangs.

Babakanoosh, that's a little wilder than I was thinking

How about a RAT RC-6 ?

6.5" blade, full tang, 1095, single guard (integral,) and a great warranty.

The RC6 isn't a bad option. I love RC knives; I have 3 RC4s and 4 RATs too. But for this particular knife I'm looking for more of a clip point, possibly even a sharpened swedge. I'm also leaning toward a traditional guard, rather than an integral one.

The closest thing I currently have to what I have in mind is my sage HellRazor. But I want something more traditional, for when I'm feeling "old school".

Boker has several knives, both full tang and respectable.
