When you say "contemporary aka back-up knives", are you referring to things like Cold Steel, Benchmade, and similar folders?
Fixed blade, double edged, sheath knives with 3” to 4” blades. Both blades and grips are generally all black. Examples include but are not limited to: Cold Steel’s FGX Boot Blade II and the Brave Heart. The Gerber Black Guardian Back-Up Knife with a 3.25” blade, 7.125” overall size, priced at under $50 seems particularly appealing as it very closely approximates the appearance of more common sgian dubhs.
