What’s like a Charge Knife but not a Charge Knife?

Or a Spoon/Scoop!

Neither of my Charge Knifes are particularly old but the second has started creaking, the first has been at it a while.

I like the shape but not the hideous noise, so looking for some recommendations on a replacement that won't cost a fortune!?

What do you call a fortune?

Romin looks a bit similar from the photos?

Don't want to spend more than £40-50 quid.

However, more than happy to go second hand to find something that agrees.

Oh and I'll check out the Romin, thanks.

Older Selle Italia Flite - think the Spoon is pretty much a copy of that

Charge Scoop? Same profile, executed differently. Lovely saddle in use.

Well, if you're not bothered by weight then why not go for the spoon if it fits you nicely? I've had mine for 3 years and it still doesn't creak and groan.
I guess the knife saddles would be more susceptible as they are designed to have a thinner nylon base that flexes so they don't need as much padding (which saves weight).

Otherwise you'll probably just have to see if you can try a new saddle from a shop to find a new brand that suits.

I have a Madison Flux on the MTB which seems to be almost the same as a spoon, only problem is it's white which is not a great colour for a bike one rides in filth!
