I'm looking for the name of a particular grind. It is a hollow grind and a flattened tip, you can see it on Chaves knives and some of Pena's diesels or Reate K2. It may be a type of tanto grind but I'm not sure. I find it very pleasing to my eyes. Are there any knives in this grind you could recommend or around $200?
 
The reate just looks like a normal tanto, but the others look like spantos, which I believe Rick Hinderer started, or at least popularized.
 
I also like that compound grind pattern. Cheapest I've found one though is the Carbon fiber redencion at $275
 
The spyderco vallotton and mini vallotton have a grind kinda like that...just without the tanto.
 
It’s a Hamaguri grind. The Spyderco Lum Tanto famously has it and is around $200 when you can find it for sale.
