Try A.G. Russell knives at http://www.agrussell.com/al-mar-eagle-talon-blade-with-cocobolo/p/AMK%2D1005CT/. They sell for $145 plus shipping. An earlier version with a thumb knick and no studs is sold out, but the talon version included in this drop is in stock. I'm no knife expert, and my favorite of the knives I own has an AUS-8 blade. It seems sharper and to cut more smoothly than my knives with harder steels.
