Well trying to find a unicorn is tricky business,
Maybe all you need is a sparkly shirt

Sorry, I couldn't resist

If you’d consider a modern traditional, I can highly recommended the Zieba Heritage slip joint 4” closed 3” blade

I would but that looks a little large in the handle.

Here’s a couple of pics (not mine)

Admittedly a bit bigger than most traditionals but not as big as you think

Thanks for all the suggestions. I found this Boker and although I want a single blade I'll try this in the meantime.

Seems like a GEC 97 is what you want. Still some available around the net and in for sale section.

That looks like it will tide you over until you find something that better matches your vision, Alan!
I'd like that Boker with any blade combo: the handle shape, rounded bolsters, and checkered cover material are very appealing to me.

A Boker 1906 is something else to consider if you're interested in a lockback.

I am rather fond of this GEC #12 Toothpick in Saber Grind:

I received the Boker I mentioned in the above post and except that it has two blades I’m very satisfied.
