This is the definition of a Puukko, I think the blade/grind is of more importance in defining it as a Puukko rather than the handle.
The basic components of a puukko are a hilt and a blade along with a sheath, which can be attached to a belt. The blade is short, typically less than 100 mm.
The flat back allows the user to place a thumb or his other hand on it to concentrate the force. Puukkos are used both as a tool for all kinds of carving, especially to work wood, and to clean the catches of anglers and hunters. Some puukko designs have a slightly upwards or downwards curved point, depending on what purpose the knife has. A hunting puukko's tip is often curved downwards to make skinning and opening the animal easier and less messy. The blade is relatively short, usually about the same length as the handle. Fisherman's puukkos sometimes have a small dovetail on point to ease scraping off the innards of a fish.
Most puukkos have a slight shoulder but No choil , since the point where the edge ends and the handle begins is also the point where most power can be applied. A puukko often has no guard to stop the hand from slipping onto the edge, but this is of no great importance, since it is primarily considered a cutting tool, not a stabbing weapon. In cases where the knife and the hand are expected to get wet, like if the puukko is meant for gutting fish or game, some form of guards are carved into the handle. The traditional length of the puukko blade is the same as one's palm width, usually 90–120 mm. Carvers, huntsmen and leatherworkers favour shorter blades; woodworkers, carpenters and constructors longer.

I'm with you, pit. I generally like my knives with no choil.

I can really imagine this one, more so than many of the other wild suggestions that fly around from time to time.
I'd be interested to hear what Dan thinks ?

I'm not the best at drawing but this is the sort of thing I was thinking if Dan went with the Mudder handle: ![[Linked Image from i910.photobucket.com]](http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac306/Pitdog_2010/001-15_zps602590cd.jpg)

Now I could deal with one of those myself! Even if it was $99.95! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
