thanks Robert and Dan, I am calling it Peach seed jigging for now
the one photo looking down into the inside with blades folded is to show what I am calling about 15% blade loss, with the blades open you can see some loss, but it is hard to estimate unless you can see a 'new' or 'mint' one.

Nice one. I don't think I've ever seen a Weck pocketknife I didn't like.
