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

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