I know this question has been asked a bunch of times and I tried a search here too.
What I'd need would be a knife with max 75mm blade, drop point, skeletonized handle with paracord wrap (or mikarta, but serviceable), S30V or above stainless steel. Even customs or semi-customs will do.

Please help me choose

Thanks in advance
 
I gotta chime in on behalf of my Becker Necker. 0170-6C high carbon tool steel (basically 1095 with vandium for better hardening). Put a thin, slight convex edge on it, and it absolutely shreds index cards, shaves easily and seems to hold the edge well; looking forward to using it this summer!
 
The three I own is an Ivan Campos Kiridashi, in 1095 or 5160, I'm not sure. I also have a small Larry Nowicki in D2. Last, I have a Benchmade 210 in S30V. All are great users, I need to put a lock on my Campos sheath. The Nowicki is small, but its size has no bearing on its use, it is a real worker. The 210 is the one I put through its paces. Campos is in Brazil, Nowicki is in MD. Both are members on here. I have developed an appreciation for tool steels, I like both Ivan and Larry, good makers, and will take care of you. But, the S30V is neat on my 210. All three makers have sites.
 
Did you mean millimeters or centimeters??

I don't think there are many 0.295275591 inch blades out there (Google measurement converter!)...
 
We have 80 mm regulation in Hungary. I couldn't find a perfect one, so I designed one, which suited me really well, then a custom maker made it for me. In fact it did not cost me as much as a better production knife.
 
They make neck knives is stainless??? :D

Check out the Charles May Neck Knife, he makes it in s30v.

Charlie May makes some of the best knives I've ever seen. I've got one of his Lil' Bladie Mae's in D2. One of his in S30V would be amazing.

Be patient, he only checks his e-mail once or twice a day, he spend most of his time in the shop working.

I've had it take 24 hours to hear back from him, but he always does.

I've got 2 of his knives and just ordered a 3rd last week. He does amazing work.
