I can't find a knife (description inside)

[TheMightyGoat]

Last night I was browsing bladeart.com and I came across a knife that looked like a long toothpick with an edge on it. It was very narrow, thin, and long (in respect to it's other dimentions). It was black, maybe 5 inches long, and I believe it had a paracord handle but I may be wrong on that. According to the description, it was designed to be a last ditch self-defense weapon that could be concealed easily. I went back to check it out today, but I couldn't find it. I didn't know the maker's name, so I checked literally every maker in both the "A-K" and "L-Z" sections, and I didn't find it. It's possible that it was removed from the site, I guess. Does anyone know what knife I am describing?

Sounds like the Cold Steel Delta Dart .

The Delta Dart has neither a paracord wrap nor an edge.

It also costs $5, and the thing I'm looking for cost a lot more than that... I can't remember the cost specifically, though. I'm sure it was one of the custom jobs on knifeart.com, too, even if it's not there anymore.

The Vampire Slayer ?

Perhaps the Greco Bones

Nope and nope, but thanks for trying. The thing I saw was insanely small, literally not much thicker than a toothpic, and it was definately black coated. I just looked over every bladeart maker again, and it's definately not there anymore. I'd use their search feature, but for some reason that thing is always broken, and I don't know what I'd type in... "black toothpick" wouldn't get many hits...

What about "last ditch" or "concealed" etc. Good luck.

 

[Fireshaker]

These are the closest makers that have knives that fit the first description I could find.

You may want to try out Knife Art.com

I just looked over every single knife they have on bladeart.com trying desperately to find this knife for you... no really, I looked at all those beautiful knives for you, seriously Anyway, I didn't see anything that could be what you're talking about.
I doubt they took it off since last night, maybe you saw it on a different site?

Sounds similar to one of Newt Livesay's Zippers. You can see it here:

I like a bigger knife. I've got one of these coming:

Could it be a copy of the CIA lapel dagger, or one of that genre?

The Zipper! That's the one. Thanks, HankS. And everyone else, too.

 

[ExamonLyf]

Well that was easy.... Thanks Hank.., I'd been searching BladeArt also and came up empty....

 

[Cougar Allen]

Well, I see the question was answered before I logged on and saw this ... but I'm going to go look at every knife on Bladeart anyway. Just to make sure....

 

[fishface5]

better search the forums before you buy one, I recall reading something somewhere that wasn't very positive about the zipper. Might just have been the usual carping about dullness, though - Newt makes a good knife but sends it out butter-knife sharp (I've had 3).

 

[Rugger]

The zipper is a bear to sharpen- that being said, it was never designed to be much of a "cutter".
