So, I've been making more of these- very handy utility knife, good for game but I sell as many to people who just want a light belt knife around town/house as hunters.

It's one of my favorite field knives, possibly my ideal dayhiker. Not up to bushcraft tasks, but I could get by with this, as well as I could with any folder I own, and better.

but, what do I call it?
 
It is, or started out as, a bird and trout. It's one of the patterns I really like.

Slim Jim is a good one so far :)
 
- Skalpell (German for scalpel)
- Bisturi (Italian for scalpel)
- Szike (Hungarian for...you know)
 
I like Slim Jim quite a bit too.

Here are some others:
Gossamer - to reflect the light weight nature and delicate lines
Contrail - again, light weight and kind of wispy
Koyote Tail
Twig

I'll keep trying to think of some.
 
Nice little knife, I like it!

How bout Sparrow... Looks fast and agile like a sparrow.
