I was wandering how to get a custom knife made, and who would be a good choice for a custom bowie knife? Also, is 154 cm a good steel for a bowie?
Thanks

Okay, that's a Big Bear sub-hilt fighter (can't tell if it's a Lovett or a Loveless from the smallish pic) - certainly a contemporary classic. Mike Lovett can certainly make you one. One of my favorite makers of this style is Rob Brown of South Africa:

And an attractive variation:

Rob's fit and finish are absolutely first rate and his blades are frighteningly sharp.
Rob prices thses on his site at $755 and $815, respectively. I suspect that for makers who do this style (and do it well) the price likely goes UP from there, potentially in a very big way.
