As the thread title states, I'm looking for a knife similar to the one used in the movie "The Edge". I really like the classic/traditional design with the natural scales (mammoth ivory in the original verson). The movie knife was made by Brian Lyttle. He's not taking orders at the moment and I'm not really interested in spending that much cash anyway. So, I was wondering if anyone could recommend a knife that would be a decent alternative to the very expensive and currently unavailable Brian Lyttle "Edge" knife. Thanks!

I wouldn't doubt the fact that particular knife was influenced by this old classic... a Buck 110.

I definitely agree that the 110 influenced the Lyttle design. The 110 is available in 420HC with wood and brass scales. I'm hoping to find something with bone/horn/antler scales and a higher grade blade steel.
 
you can order off of Buck's website to get an S30V blade with different natural handle materials, including sambar & elk, and nickel scales.
 
Queen Mountain Man lockback in amber stag bone (bone carved/torched to look like stag). D2 steel. Also available in woods.

Awesome! I didn't see the customize section of Buck's website before. I can get a 110 with nickel bolsters, ram horn scales and an S30V satin finished blade for $139.00. I'm really thinking about ordering one. Thanks for the info.
 
It's too bad you can't get a flat grind from Buck like that Lyttle has. I really like the blade on that. Thanks for sharing the picture, I haven't thought about that movie in quite a while.

Yeah, the flat grind realy sets off that super pronounced clip point. That's one aspect of the Lyttle knife I much prefer over the Buck 110 and Queen Mountain Man.
