So, I just got my RR elephant toenail, and I really like the pattern - although I think I would like a different profile in the secondary blade.

I have an old S&W USA one on the way.

Any others I should look for - if anything I wouldn't mind it a bit heavier.
 
Only one I have is my GEC steel tonail. Liners and bolsters are steel as well.

It is a sturdy bugger.



 
You want heavier? Check out the A.G. Russell Sunfish. There is a video on YouTube. I'd link to it but, don't know how.
An amazing knife, fit and finish are superb.
 
Here are a couple crummy low-light pics I just took of a GEC Tidioute 36 single-blade sunfish in ebony compared to it's somewhat larger knife-rope cousin, a Tidioute single-blade 45 Lumberjack, also in ebony. GEC makes one more knife pattern similar to the 45, the 46 Whaler, that has an even taller main blade that opens from the opposite end.



 
Great looking knives BW. I'd love to find one of these single blade GECs but, they're long gone as far as I can tell.

I just now noticed the blade stamp on that beast. That by itself looks really cool, but the blade itself just goes off into ridiculousness for me. As much as I like ebony, I just couldn't pull the trigger on that one; I have no idea what I would use it for.
 
Favorite? These are my grail knives. I know I will never own them but if I did...

Thank you Frank, you're a prince! ;-)
 
I should add, that the Steel Toenail is not at all too big for pocket carry. Great shape, and the secondary blade really sits low in the frame. Not only that, but the secondary blade is a lovely thin slicer!
