I’m looking for knife ideas close in shape to the A100.

I am a less is more type of person, and have always been attracted to the simplicity of the A100 design. I would have bought 10 of them, instead of 1, if I would have known they were going to be taken off of the market.

What available knives out there are close in shape to it?

No double-edge. Any style locking mechanism will do.
 
I’m looking for something less curvy and or rounded.

I like the squared off handle of the A100.

Anything closer?
 
Dang! Nice. Is there a name to go with it?
Sorry. Yes those are both Ray Laconico EZC. Not mine just pics I like to look at and cry… If you go hunting for one and find it, then decide its more then you want pay let me know and Ill piss my wife off!
 
IMO the Hinderer Firetac (also the ZT0460 that is similar in size and shape) and the Terrain 365 invictus compare quite well with the A100

Kizer Feist

Quiet Carry Waypoint

Maybe one of the numerous Kwaiken type designs

Real Steel Puukko

Hmmm maybe I'll think of more later.
 
Well there are More to choose from than I thought.

That Feist, and Waypoint, are really nice looking.

Thanks to all for the replies.
 
Also have a look at the Lionsteel Daghetta. It's only about 0.15" shorter but very nice grippy G10 and it folds into a super compact package making it barely noticeable in pocket.

That does look nice. Is it double edged though?

No, just a very convincing swedge giving it a dagger grind effectively while still being a single edge. I couldn't be happier with mine ;) So little pocket space is taken up!
