I'm looking for more knives with straight edges like the Kershaw Leek. Not tantos, just one straight edge, no curves at all. For some reason I just want one and the Leek is my first choice but I want to know if there are anything maybe a little bigger.
 
For fixed blades, CRKT S.P.E.W. and Minimalist come to mind. Also the Case Swayback Jack
 
Spyderco Yojimbo, Blackhawk Wharn-ing spring immediately to mind. Boker used to make one called the G4 designed by Chad Los Banos.
 
Wharning is Meyerco, I think. Blackhawk is the Be-Wharned. The Kershaw Needs Work is nice, but the handle is a bit short for my taste. I was also gonna suggest looking at the G4, but I guess it's been discontinued. A few people had issues with them (I don't recall specifics), so that may be why. Large folding wharncliffes aren't very common in the lower-priced category, which is very unfortunate. Spyderco has offered a few wharncliffe folders in the past, but I'm not familiar with their current line up.
 
Nothing really other the leek is speaking to me...

And TBH, the Kershaw Needs Work does need some work before I'll ever like it.

And Sheepsfoot pattern are all three names of traditional knife patterns to look for of knives with a flat cutting edge profile.

Don't forget the English a lambsfoot, Spyderco Spydercard, old Spyderco/Bob Terzuola C15, Pat Crawford's key claw, (I believe it's also UK compatible, it's a small friction folder.

Several companies including Boker's one arm razor or CRKTs folding Razel.
