Is there a knife search tool out there? - looking for recommendations

I just started collecting knives a year ago, and have finally zeroed in on the kinds/types/styles I like, and want to see what's out there that fits within my preferences. I noticed on the Spydie web-site that you can search by steel type, and thought - wow, it would be great if there was a search tool that allows you to filter knives down based on blade length, steel, weight, etc.

I couldn't find anything after a quick web search, but thought that a forum post could yield some results.

? Can you recommend knives that fit within these criteria?
? Or maybe, recommend 'go get a custom' that fits the price point and specs?

Folder
- EDC, Camping, Hiking, Backpacking, Survival
- 154cm, S30v, any crazy 'supersteels'
- 3.25 to 3.45" blade
- weight <= 3 oz.
- FFG
- one hand opening
- <$350
- Likes drop points, recurve belly
- dislikes linerlocks, overly 'tactical'

I already have the following, but none really meet all criteria:
- BM Ritter RSK MK1
- Kershaw Blur, S30v
- CRKT Ignitor
- RAT-1
- Opinel 8

Fixed
- Camping, Hiking, Backpacking, Bushcraft, Survival
- 154cm, S30v, VG10, any crazy 'supersteels'
- 6 to 6.5" blade
- weight <= 13 oz.
- FFG
- <$225
- Likes drop points, recurve belly

I already have the following, but none really meet all criteria:
- Ritter RSK MK2 Perseverance
- ESEE-6
- Becker BK2
- Fallkniven A1

Any suggestions/recommendations are appreciated - this looks a bit too much like an ad in the personals, but I'd love to build my collection and try to find ‘my perfect knife’

Cheers!
 
You might want to try venturing into custom knife territory. There are a lot of makers here that can make you a knife, with your choice of materials, and specs within your budget. To my knowledge, there is no database available that encompasses all those criteria. There are some peoplebthat make their own based on steel, or collection, it's basically documentation of what they have.
