If you have access to a few hand tools, and are the do-it-yourself type, you could make your own using a kit.  It's all done for you.  You just add the scales, shape them to your liking, and your done.  Here's an example:                    http://jantzsupply.com/cartease/item-detail.cfm?ID=SS782K

A great sense of accomplishment when your finished.

I sent you a PM with thoughts.  If you want I'll start getting a list together of people I know would do a great job... convincing them to will be your task!  :)

Pm answered, not wanting to twist an arm here, just wanting to keep my efforts amongst good people. Used or new is fine, just that it works !

Have you looked at a Buck "Vangard" with a guthook blade?  Decent enough knife for the money.  It's not 5 or 6 inches long but I haven't seen many guthooks with a blade that long.
