Today I stumbled upon a Doug Ritter CRKT Mk6 that I hadn't heard of before. This appears to have come out last year (2014) and looks to be a "big brother" of Doug's Mk5 - a skeleton handled fixed blade knife. The Mk6 is slightly smaller than the Becker BK14 Eskabar.

The Mk5 comes with a lanyard that I've read is intended to help with the hand-hold.
The Mk6 comes with the handle wrapped with orange paracord - including a dangling "grip" - again would certainly help with the hand-hold.
They all come with a hard plastic sheath - the Mk6 includes hardware for a belt clip.
