I love this style of blade.
So I recently purchased a QSP Penguin in M390 that I love.
But I'm looking for a slightly nicer knife with this style blade and the Vero Axon Mini stands out.
So, while I'm waiting for the next drop of this knife, I'm wondering if there are any others I should be considering.
Blade sweet spot is around 3".
Price around $250 give or take.
PIx, prices, links are greatly appreciated.

I’m a big Wharncliffe fan just mainly for the usefullness of that blade shape. Allows me to use finger on spine to really guide and direct the cutting edge. Great control generally on them for more precise cutting jobs. Don’t know about that particular knife you listed but yes to Wharncliffes!

He Loves them........His somewhat recent M2 version looks better than most.
It's got to be a crazy cutter.

He does Many styles, not just Wharnies.
 
Protech Malibu is maybe more reverse tanto, but it it close to what you are talking about, and is an awesome, awesome knife. the button lock is fun to fidget with.

I second the Demko as well. I recently picked up the 3V and G10 handle version, and it is really nice, and the shark lock is fun.
 
Thanks for the shout out Crag the Brewer Crag the Brewer , although if I had to guess from the OP he's looking for folders, and maybe not stuff quite as pointy as what I tend to make. I only make fixed blades now and in the foreseeable future. But here are some I just finished this week, and about to put it in the mail today:

Top one is "Wharntastic", a one-off I cut by hand, so named by its owner, and the Andy Keyworth design "Kagitsume", which he has generously allowed me to make and sell. I plotted it in CAD from photos of his originals he profiled in O1, and it was is laser cut, both heat treated by Jarod Todd, and now going to the same gentleman.
 
LeftyEDC has created a new knife - Divo Stout - that looks like the Demko, etc. A good Chinese company - maybe WE - makes them. I don't know who sells them. Also Urban EDC Supply sells that type of knife.

The Spyderco Kapara has a bit longer blade than you are looking for, but it is very nicely done.
