Does anyone make anything similar to MoD Lady Hawk?

Seeing pretty extravagant prices for pre-owned ones, hard to believe nobody is making a similar, curved handle hawkbill that snuggles into your hand. I think it would be a popular fit for a lot of people, not just for those defensively inclined. I've surveyed some of the newer Chinese offerings as well, don't see anything. Straight handles are out there but not seeing any with that 'half moon' kind of profile from handle butt to blade tip. Anyone know?

Think I found a pic online of the knife you are talking about. Is it this knife?

You might consider looking at karambits. They have similar blade and handle profiles. You might be able to remove the ring with a hacksaw.
 
Not a bad idea, I have a Kershaw Outlier for a modest budget I could do that to. I just really prefer that profile and compactness the Lady Hawk offers. To above poster, no, I'd respectfully suggest it's nothing like a '$17 gas station knife'.
 
Yes, I own or have owned several of his production pieces, including a current little folder, Tenable by Kansept, and a nice little Garra Wharnie, and an older Slim. All good knives. But I'm really set on this crescent moon kind of shape, blade to handle, years ago saw similar one by a custom maker on bladeart.com, can't remember his name, not sure if he's even around anymore. Open to any other suggestions.
 
The spyderco q ball is kinda similar but it’s a flat edge, not a sickle. The spyderco poliwog is also quite crescent shaped overall but the blade is also not a sickle, has a pretty steep negative angle though.
 
Been looking online, nobody makes a a 'karambit' sans finger hole ring. Perhaps that violates the definition of what a karambit is. If I search for folding hawkbill sans finger hole i tend to get a different blade shape.
 
Great knives all. But handle is straight, I am looking for more of a curved handle like pic above. Didn't know it would be so difficult.
 
Like I said, popular with gas station knives.

But there is this if you can find one.

Search for a used Kershaw Talon or Talon II. Spyderco Harpy or P’kal are options as well.
 
Looks like TOPS Devils Claw is closest (fixed blade, tho) but that's the idea, anyway
