Maybe a little like a Nessmuk? I added a lanyard ring just because I can do that kind of thing at the forge.

Flat ground
Tapered tang and distal taper on the blade
Hammered finish on the flats
Hand sanded blade to 400 grit
Vinegar etch to a pewter color
Curly maple handle
Overall length: 8 7/8 inches not including the lanyard ring
Sharpened blade: 4 1/4 inches
Riveted leather scabbard

This is a very special new development in your knife making! What beautiful wood! What a thoughtful shape and finish to the blade! And perhaps most of all, what a neat twist in the ring suggestive of a flint knapper that might be found on a patch knife! Who'd a "thunk" it? Only Gerry!

The flint knapper was my thought too but only decorative in my opinion. I usually carry a Bic in the woods with me.
 
I'm shocked that this one is still here Jerry, everyone must be as short on funds as I am !!!
