Kanile'a
Kelii
Ko'olau
Lanikai
Loprinzi

Pono and Mele I believe make one. Or at least they did at some point...

Thanks Skitzic. Mele checks out.

I checked Pono's website and can't find it under the Pono make. It is offered as an option in certain Ko'olau lines. (Pono is a less expensive line from Ko'olau for those unfamiliar with the relationship).

Tah Dah! It appears they only make it under the mahogany deluxe series. Ebay turns up nothing so I'm not sure how available they are.
