What kind of blade is this?

So my dad is very fond of this Kershaw Needs Work that he bought a year ago.

http://www.kershawknives.com/productdetails.php?id=385&brand=kershaw

It has a distinctive blade that has no slope what so ever. A perfectly straight edge that cuts, rather, well compared to my other knives. There is another Kershaw that has a similar type of edge style, called the Tilt.

This knife goes for $227.99 at 888knivesrus.com and is only available for pre-order. I would like to know if anyone knows what this type of blade/edge style is called. And If there are any other folders or fixed that have the same, or a similar style of blade.

A leek is another Kershaw that's somewhat close to that straight-edged profile.

Wharncliffes are great, and a lot of companies make them. Unfortunately the spyderco i love with a wharncliffe blade is discontinued.

They are discontinued but you can find the Spyderco Centofante 4 available.

There are several Sheepsfoot style blades available from Spyderco that are similar. If you want to make them into Wharncliff blades you can.
