I have their beartooth pro skinner.. kinda the same profile you're looking at but a bit larger. They have several profiles to choose from.

Lots of good suggestions, but it looks like some of the Bradford Knives to me.

If you like a molded rubber handle I'm not sure you can beat the Cutco drop point for confort. Probably not quite enough belly for you but you cant beat the handle.

I have a victorianox like that. Razor sharp. Looking for something smaller.

Sounds like your looking for a Canadian belt knife profile. Check out https://ltwrightknives.com/shop/knives/small-northern-hunter/

This is the one you want.

The continuous belly is what you really need to look for. I don’t recommend a nessmuk style knife unless it has a nice point.

There are custom smiths that will make a knife for you from a trading. It won’t be cheap though.

Come on guys, if were going to talk about Canadian belt knives, let's at least talk about the OG Canadian belt knife.

[6mm Remington]

Here's Montana Made Ruana knife that is fantastic. You can customize and have them use a pretty wood instead of elk antler if you prefer. I own the 5AD and the Steelhead and love them both.

6BD Skinner. 4" blade 4 1/2" handle

Here's another fantastic one that looks to be about the size and shape you are looking for.
Ruana 10B Skinner. 3 1/2" blade 2 3/4" handle

Ruana Knives

American Made Knives ~ Since 1938. We are a family owned business that has been hand-crafting knives in the same location for 80 years, with an emphasis on quality over quantity.

Go to the Ruana Knife web-site. It's a pretty cool story about Rudy Ruana moving west with his family and breaking down in Bonner Montana just east of Missoula. He went to a shop and asked to use their welder. He did and the owner was so impressed with his skill that he offered him a job. Rudy and his family made roots and stayed and the family is still there to this day. He started making knives for the military and forest service guys. They absolutely love them and there are a LOT of veterans who have Rudy Ruana Knives, old and new.

Maybe something like KOA's alpha wolf https://www.knivesofalaska.com/Store/alpha-wolf/alpha-wolf-d2---suregrip

Or the extreme yukon model

He did say he wanted quality steel!

BURN!

Call up Rocky Menefee and tell him what you what. Easy as that!

Look at Williams Knives, whitetail skinner, his quality is excellent. Small company, Chris builds nice stuff.
I want his bird knife, perfect all around and light.

i am leery of trying a Canadian Belt Knife profile. I don’t know if I like the shape. I’m making a special trip into town on Monday just to look at equipment so maybe I’ll try to find one to look at.

Pretty knives though.
