Rigid, straight 1 1/8" steerer forks with disc mounts and big tyre clearance don't grow on trees these days
kona p2 disc? 26" and 29er versions available, seem to have space for something bigger than 2.3s:

New cranks on the Flyer,
Powder job looks amazing in the sun,
Also finished off the 1x1 and took it for a ride
These aluminium forks don't half make for a harsh ride though, plus the 2.3 tyre fitted in that pic is the largest I'll get in there.
Rigid, straight 1 1/8" steerer forks with disc mounts and big tyre clearance don't grow on trees these days it seems and in looking around for a replacement I kept coming back to the newer Surly 1x1 forks that have disc mounts. Cheapest I could find them was about £60 from Triton but they don't have the 80mm corrected ones in stock, only the longer ones (think the frame geo changed at some point, my 1x1 is pretty early). Infact, most places only have the longer ones in stock, I think I'd need to spend around £80 to get them in stock and fuck that noise so I bought this for a tenner...
