Saw a post on another board I frequent about a guy who makes custom knives, and I contacted him for some info.
I told him what I wanted: matte blade, semi-tanto tip that would stand up to some abuse if necessary, small enough to be unobtrusive and carried horizontally in SOB (not over 9.5" overall). He said he thought he knew what I wanted and made me a knife.
Here is what he made. This cost me $140.00 shipped to my front door. Lemme know what you think.
He's making me another as I type this. I'm a knife, gun, and bike whore:banana: .
