Wanted Rigid disc fork with curved blades

Looking for a more aesthetically pleasing fork for my '97 Marin Hawk Hill disc brake conversion:

420mm - 440mm axle to crown
200+mm 1,1/8"steerer (could possibly go a smidge shorter, I'd have to measure)
Disc brake mounts
Steel
..... And curved fork blades

The last point seems to be the sticky one, almost all modern ones (including the cheap and cheerful one off a Carrera Subway that I've currently got fitted) seem to be straight blade.

Cheers!
 
See if you can track down an original Surly 1x1 fork from the mid-2000's. Good looking, suspension-corrected, curved-blade, they would definitely fit your requirements. Not a ton of mounting options though if that matters.

Never mind, just checked the catalogs and they're 413mm axle-to-crown which might be a bit short. Good forks though.
 
Cheers for the recommendation! Seems like there's not a lot out there that fits the bill.

It's got me wondering about getting a disc mount fitted to the original fork, but I'm never quite sure how wise that is...
