can someone make me this knife?

[Nathan Akins]

id like a blade 4.5"long and an inch wide. a scandi grind that has a high grind of 22 degrees. the steel could be 1095 or 13c26 or o1. 61-62rc and a blade of 2.5mm thick. the shape of the blade and the handle should be like this:http://bskd.curlcentric.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/11102010371.jpg

id like the handle to swell slightly in the middle. dont care what kind of wood, just darker stain would be nice.

max price is around 170. if i left out needed info, let me know,

and if thats too inexspensive let me know your cheapest price


thanks

If you are looking for a maker or craftsman to do some work, post it in the following thread.

The Custom & Handmade Knives forum is for discussing such knives, not soliciting work.

The following link is where our forum makers post their fixed blades for sale. Check it out and if you see someone you may want to work with send them an email.

There are knives in there that are in your price range. That may change if it will be made to your specs.

Respectfully, and this is just my opinion, "and if thats too cheap let me know your cheapest price" is not a great way to start a dialogue with a craftsman that takes pride in their work. Cheap and inexpensive are not the same thing. Just some food for thought.

Does it have to be a custom?
There are plenty of knives out there that fit your specs or are pretty close... for like fifty bucks starting price.
