The Toenail?

[Burchtree]

Does anyone know of a knife (besides the slipjoint style) named the Toenail, or Fingernail? I searched through the forums and through google, but couldn't come up with anything. I made an ugly little neck knife last night, and I'd like to name it one of the two, but don't want to be stealin' no names.

Crawford made the Hangnail. It was a neck knife.

I think there was one named the toenail, by case...
Either that or elephant toe

There were quite a few companies that made knives called Elephant Toenails. This style of knife is also called a Sunfish. These are the slipjoints that Michael mentioned in the original post of this thread.

D'Holder has one named the "Toad"

Thanks all for the replies -- I ended up calling it the "Ladyfinger." I hope this name isn't already used.

Somewhere, sometime, it probably has been used. But, like knife designs, they have all been made before, so why worry about it? Nice knife, by the way.

Thanks -- it was kinda fun to make, but my first real small blade. it never took long to heat that blade up while grinding!
