Does anyone know of some good, affordable Persian style fixed blade knives out there? I love the up-swept blade style like the Buck Kalinga, BM Bedlam, and even the BK&T Magnum.

Actually more interested in fixed blades of any size. But the Spydie Persian is nice.
 
Check out the Entrek Ranger and Force Recon. Described on the Entrek website as having a persian inspired blade. Only difference between the two are blade length.
 
Check out scorpion knives website. They have a really nice on that I plan to buy soon, it's a copy of the Jordanian? Military knife iirc it's called a jambiya It's a little over you're price but only by $20 bucks. Also look at crkt and the hissatsu it's under your price range. Atlantic cutlery also has a copy of the jambiya knife if your not planning on using it and just collecting I would go with it because it's much cheaper.
 
Quickkill, Scorpion's stuff looks nice, but their standard steel seems pretty low-grade and their knives priced overly high. Thanks, though!
 
Entrek Ranger (below) or it's smaller Force Recon entity.

Grinder, I've been a fan of Entrek for a long time. I'm looking for something a bit less expensive right now to see if I like the Persian style in actual usage. As of right now, I'm going on looks. I had a Kalinga, which was a great slicer, but I'm looking for something a bit more curvy. I don't know why, but I've always like the LOOK of up-swept blades.
 
More up-swept than a Kalinga? The extra belly on a that knife serves well for skinning and butchering so that is where the LOOK really comes into its own in use.

Here's some cheaper field options.

If you're using a BK5 as an example, it sounds like your looking for what's called a "trailing point," and not a true Persian.
The BK15 and Spyderco South Fork both have trailing points, (the BK15 more so,) though the South Fork is a fair but above your price limit.

ETA: Beat me to it.
