Knives Similar to a Shirogorov?

So I stumbled upon the knives made by Shirorogorv and I really like them except their price tag. Do you guys know of any knives similar in styling under the $200 price range? The knives recommended around this price are usually too bulky for my tastes like the ZTs and such.

What I really like about the Shirogorov is that the blade doesnt protrude out of the handle when the knife is closed. The handle isnt overly wide either since the scales are fairly thin. The knife overall looks very elegant and sleek and doesnt have a "hard use" type of look to it if that makes sense. I'd really like to get one of these knives but will have to do so later down the road when I can afford to.

Any recommendations to something similar? Something thin, more gentleman-like. I would like the overall length to be around 7 inches but its not too big of a deal for me. This will just be an EDC knife for me and wont have to go through hard use. Help is appreciated! Thanks
 
You might want to check out the ZT forum.

One of the designers for Shirogorov is Sinkevich. He is going to do a collaboration knife with ZT. Not sure for the timing of this release.

Thanks for the heads up coffe :thumbup:! Thats exactly what im looking for. Im not too fond of the blade shape but im a huge spyderco fan so I think I have a bias towards FFG
 
You could try a GTC. Or a Laconico. All make slim, elegant, strong knives. Oh, you want a CHEAPER version. That's a little tougher. Spyderco is where I would look.

I've got a college studen budget here haha. I'm planning to buy this knife after I sell off my books I used this semester. I own a delica and para 2 from spyderco and really like them but the spydie hole makes the blade protrude from the handle quite a bit when closed. I looked at the southard and really like it as well but the handle scales are just too thick with two slabs of titanium and then g10 on top of that.
 
fantoni knives. They have a sinkevich design that is very shirogorov. its not as pricey as one but its not $200 either. more like $375 from most places. Id check them out.
