Looking for a "modified drop point recurved tanto..."

[glocker199]

I don't genereally care for tantos but I've always loved the blade shape on the Benchmade Gaucho. I always thought it would be a great style for a larger fixed blade as well. Someone recently told me that they saw pics of a new fixed blade with a similar shape but he didn't know who made it. Without a name or model, it's very difficult so I thought I'd post here to ask if anyone has seen something similar.

The Gaucho

Not sure about the fixed blade but that definitely brings to mind the Grimsmo Norseman.

Sorry I can't help

The Tanto version of the Kershaw Cryo and Cryo II have a very similar blade design as what you show here.

Maybe the SOG Kiku?

The Sog Kiku might be worth a look. The blade on this Kizer here is a little more dramatic, but same basic style:

Pretty sure the OP is looking for FIXED BLADE that has a similar shape profile.

I believe Emerson has a similar design as well. But I'm pretty sure it comes in 154CM only.

That Emerson be the CQC-15. Check out that blade. It sounds close to what you are looking for.

EDIT: Oh, you want a fixed. Take a look at the Grayman's.

There's a fixed version of the Kiku.

By golly, you're right! Well nix the Kizer but there is a fixed blade Kiku I think.

I think that's it. Looks exactly like what he described.

I love the looks of it. Too bad it's a made in Taiwan AUS-8 knife with a street price of $170.

I found them on amazon for around $120, the same price as the Benchmade fixed Contego, US made of S30V.
