I have been ogling the Buck Waimea quite a bit lately and I think it may be an upcoming purchase for me. I'm particularly drawn to the clip point blade, as they don't seem really common on a lot of high end folders. I know the Emerson 12 and 13 have similar tips, but what are some other high quality ones you guys can think of? I'd like to see some more.

The Buck 110/112 (if you don't already have one or more) and Spyderco Chinook 3 immediately come to mind.

The Buck Mayo's. TNT & Waimea...:)

Cold Steel has a lot of Clip Point folders and they are high quality.
 
If you really are looking for high end, the Chris Reeve Sebenza comes to mind. That pretty much defines 'high end clip blade folder', at least in my book...
 
One of the nicest I've seen in a while (I'm after one now) is Klotzli's ACC-M1 model. It's a clip point LL with a 3" blade and CF scales. Also, GP Knives has a really good looking Marty Young CF clip point folder in their custom knives section.
 
The new Buck Vantage Pro. I have a few of these. A bit heavy at just over 4.oz but smooth opening with $30v steel. You can flip it open with the tang or use the hole. I got all of mine for about $30 a piece.

Wow, these sure are nice. I'd never seen or heard of these before. Can anybody think of any others, aside from slip joints? I'm on the hunt for a Bowie-type or Turkish clip blade. Thanks to everyone who has submitted their ideas so far!
 
You got the Emerson cqc-13 and cqc-12 and the buck 560. 560 is pretty much a 110 with a titanium handle.
