New fixed blade - need help

Because I referenced this in my post, I found a custom knife in the makers market that's about as close to a fixed millie as I've found. Certainly not a perfect match but certainly plenty about it I found compelling when I saw it. Add in some modern materials (this has European version of 5160, roughly) and a little more upturned tip or a flatter back and you would pretty much have the fixed millie. This has more of the blade profile of the mule though but with more cant (right term?) to the spine at the front of the handle. The blade shape is certainly not too far away from some of the traditional spyderco favorites, like the manix. Slicey as heck but only got it yesterday so haven't had it out in the wild yet.

Almost a perfect match of the edge's sweep/arc out on the belly

I really like the idea of a fixed blade similar to the mule in shape and size. I would prefer stainless, probably mid-range to keep the price point down a little. Though I would be tempted by one in m390
 
My thoughts for a basic no frills all arounder
- Remove guard
- Radius sharp tip of thumb ramp
- possibly reduce height of blade above spine of the handle so easier to put thumb on spine past the thumb ramp
- blade maybe a bit longer, but not thicker
- higher end stainless steel
- Screw-on scales, oem can be basic and buyers can customize
- basic leather sheath
