Small EDC cleaver -- any recommendations for a maker?

[lawboy]

I have decided that I need a small cleaver-style knife for my edc rotation. Something pocketable, with a leather sheath, and shaped like a meat cleaver. Can anyone point me to a maker here who can produce such an item with wood handle and leather sheath?

This Warther is probably too big. Blade 4", OAL 9":

Lovely but too big. I am thinking oal under six inches.

Nighthaxan makes them, calls them a "pocket frog," I think. Like this "newt," but more of a cleaver shape:

Nice, he's a great maker of knives. I have several of them, including a couple of miniatures. Here's one of my Nighthaxan knives, been using it carelessly for a couple years now:

Nighthaxan's "Lime cutter" is a good choice here. I have one of his small pocket fixed blades and I love it. See his page under Suwannee River Knife and Jewelry on FB.

Aye, but the Frog and Newt types are more compact than the Lime Cutter.

True 'dat. Just haven't seen them in some time.

He still makes them sometimes for sure! :] I see them pop up on Facebook and such.

Well, because....... knives! And.... cutting things!

Why not, is the question.

I hope he has one for sale.

Nighthaxan makes some awesome mini cleavers - lime cutters. I owned 3 of them at one time...

Another custom maker is Morgan Koens of Koenscraft...
This is one of my favourites from him

You will love it. I am regretting selling off all of mine. Definitely will be getting another one of his lime cutters in the near future.
