Hard to say.
A simple design like that, it could be anyone.

That is, if you believe the ad copy...

Hard to tell, too many makers can do that type of work. I'd call them and ask, they should be able to give you a little hint as to the maker. I'd also ask for a real picture if possible.

There must be some reason for not using his name....

For only $49 it can't be too custom.

I would guess Newt Livesay. The knife resembles his Woo somewhat.

For only $49 it can't be too custom.

Early Livesay, Grecos and Anza, all bought for under $50

$ don't determine custom or not, although it can be an indicator.

A lot of makers crank out simple patterns for low $ and they make out ok on the sales, the knives don't require the detail or the time to make a good knife.
