Ok, thanks. The Kiwi looks like maybe the one I'm looking for. From the pictures, the Kiwi looks like the same exact size of the Grasshopper, which isn't locking. I can't seem to find the exact dimensions of either, though the Kiwi looks to have the right proportions of the size I'm looking for.
...so maybe I was just thinking about that one particular Spyderco line.
Thought I'd post a pic of my D cell Mini MagLite and pocket knife

Some knives I have made with various flashlights:
"Ahab" L6 tool steel and African black wood & Zebralight SC600 in front of my utility belt.
Inova T5 and my one obligated stab at a modern "tactical" knife.
Inova T3, Taurus Tracker 22lr and a knife for concealed carry with bone and 1095
Inova X5 Red

TI Illuminati with a couple from the forge. The field awl is from a railroad spike, the dagger is 1070 with a live oak handle and bone face plate.
Inova X1 and file knife with micarta handles
SC600 and a number of others, including the mamma jamma 12" file knife. What a bastard!
Benchmade 610, 710 and rescue hook with SC600 and Illuminati. These are part of my EDC.

Found a couple more!
Maglite and a 1095 hunter. The differential heat treat that I give all my knives is visible in the picture.
Inova Tiros T3 and one from L6 and Purple-heart
Ok... now I'm getting carried away and I've run out of flashlights!
Think2x what light is that?

<br><br>Alas not, knife making has had to take the back burner the last few years while I've been off at college. After graduating I look forward to finding a living arrangement closer to my tools so I can get back to work more consistently. I've found its an excellent hobby because with sales here and there it can finance itself! So I'll reinstate my website at that point.<br><br>Until then I'll post up a couple more!<br><br>1095 and some wormy rosewood<br><br><br><br>
<br><br><br><br>This one is if i recall correctly from a jackhammer bit. The handle is African blackwood with a bone spacer.<br>
<br><br><br>
<br><br><br><br>1095 and Epay<br>
<br><br><br><br>File knife with rosewood handle<br>
<br><br><br>
<br><br><br><br>File knife with stacked leather handle & a railroad spike knife. One can achieve a reasonable degree of hardness in mild steel such as the spike by quenching in a bath of freezing brine and dish detergent. The detergent serves to break up the steam jacket. I've heard quenching in 12M HCL gives the best results <img src="http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/images/smilies/naughty.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Naughty" smilieid="50" class="inlineimg"> <img src="http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/images/smilies/eek.gif" border="0" alt="" title="EEK!" smilieid="9" class="inlineimg"><br>

You know we're sitting on four million pounds of fuel, one nuclear weapon and a thing that has 270,000 moving parts built by the lowest bidder. Makes you feel good, doesn't it?
