    I can still not work out how to post pics here of the nipple nosed knife you drew but have posted on the Bladesmiths forum where I have been posting for the last couple of years and the nipple nosed light rescue knife you mentioned is the last post on the page (8) that I have linked here for you.

    Knife weighs right on 150gm / 5 oz. Ifr I had the exact size of the elongated hole I could do that.
