What could replace an old Pro Grip/ Pro Venator?

I have had the pleasure of owning both the C13 Pro Grip and C33 Pro Venator.
The former was left in a hotel in Santiago- Chile, and the latter was lost in Sri Lanka. :grumpy:

Are there any deep bellied blades in the Spyderco line-up that would fill the shoes of these knives?
I had a real affinity for them both, and had many great adventures with them. I loved the blade shape and the 60/40 serrations.

I edc a PM, and my current travel knife is a Pac. Salt H1, but I would love a similar blade shape to the C 13/ C33.

Any ideas or input from the experts?
 
The Stretch is a little bigger but has a similar shape and are available with a combo edge.
 
I carried a Spur for years and find the Techno actually has a fairly similar blade shape along the belly.
 
The natural successor to the Pro-Grip/Pro-Venator/Hunter/Spur line is the current Stretch. You've got several different versions to choose from, including an upcoming SuperBlue version and an older CF-scales ZDP-189 version.

My personal fave is the green FRN ZDP-189 version.

Thanks for the info gents, will look into the combo edge stretch and see if it tickles the right spot when in hand.
The techno will also be investigated.
Much obliged.
