Excuse me for the crappy drawing, that's the best I could do. The knife is out of proportions, and the handle is from the different knife. Pay attention to the blade geometry and the hilt. This is some classic design, and for the life of me I can't remember where I saw this blade geometry... Please, help me find this knife! Also I understand there's a folder with such a blade somewhere... At least I saw a drawing of a folder with such a blade.

This looks like the Applegate-Fairbairn designed Smatchet. Boker has been making a couple of versions of this knife for awhile now. Thos is a picture of the full sized version.
 
sean kendrick pointed out the EXACT shape of the knife I was looking for...

Blade length 6"...
The knife I was looking for was not all black, so I believe there's another model for this particular shape... Any ideas?
 
I wouldn't be surprised if you do find another model of this blade shape, since leaf-shaped blades go back to the Stone Age, knapped from flint. (Bob Lum has a collaboration with Spyderco on a small folder with a blade like that, but the handle is entirely different.)
 
KWM is getting closer :D
However that Ontario does look more elegant, you gotta agree :rolleyes:
