i dont know of any, but my guess is you really dont need any.
Get a knife you like, folder or fixed, Trace it on to paper, then start changing things, shorten or lengthen the handle, simplfy some areas, change any parts you dont like, put on a different blade shape, lenthen the blade, add a recurve, change the point, add extentions for integral gaurds.
There are all sorts of things you can do, the traceing just gives you some scale, so you know about what size to make the handle and blade.
Also draw in your grind lines, look at the bevel angle of knives you find cut well, and use about those numbers.
Good luck.
