I'm looking for a folder that has both a skeletonized handle, and a skeletonized blade. There are many folders with skeletonized handles, and folders such as the Beretta Airlights that have skeletonized blades, but I don't think I've ever seen a folder totally skeletonized.
 
Didn't Spyderco do some skeletonized blades? I seem to remember seeing an REI exclusive one. I don't remember if the handle was skeletonized (or for that matter, what material it was...stainless or zytel).
 
Spyderco has some knives with skeletonized handle and blade (somehow creepy-looking by the way :D )

But I think they are discontinued...

The Spyderco Q and R are both skeletonized folders but are long discontinued and can fetch some cash. The Beretta folder is a nice knife, worth checking out. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think that they are made in Seki, similar to Spyderco's knives. However it's been a while since I've sold mine.

Spyderco had the "Q" and the model "R". The "R" had an aluminum handle.
The "Q" was zytel, and there are a few on Ebay now. I haven't seen an "R" for awhile, but I think someone had one for sale here last week or so.

If I remember right, I think Outdoor Edge had a totally skeletonized folder. I can't remember for sure, but think it was based off of a D. Ralph design. Don't know if they're still available, but if you could find one it would probably be pretty cheap. I'm not sure what materials were actually used in it.

is that what they were called?...............

here's the Blade magazine promo version - premium with subscription a while back:

There was also a plastic/zytel handled knife called the "Hidden Edge" by Tekna - where the blade cut outs matched the cut outs in the handle so it kind of "disappears" in the handle - hence the name
- a froogle search shows it still listed, but the photos show the solid blade version instead of the skeletized/cut out blade.
