The pilot and kermode look like nice options. Both are bit longer than I would prefer though. Really want to not go over 8 inches.
I somehow missed teamprairiedog's suggestion of the Kermode. John and Mike also make a 6" version. My wife bought their Chef's, Santuko and Paring, and I have 2 iterations of the Skaha. Sooooo...though I don't normally recommend a knife I don't have, the rest of their lineup is uniformly excellent, fwiw...
