Custom reverse-edged knives?

B. Anderson · May 30, 2012

I'm looking for a modern pakal or reverse-edged fixed blade. I currently own offerings from Ban Tang, Mark Goldsworthy, and TSD Combat Systems. I'm having alot of trouble finding other makers who offer something like this. I'm looking to spend no more than 300.00ish. If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd be very appreciative.

Something along the lines of a TOPS Back Bite is very appealing to me, but from a custom maker.

Thanks.

I have an upcoming order for a custom pikal knife and trainer, but it'll be a first for me.

Storm Crow, please keep us updated on your pikal project. I really like your work (Been following on ZS for awhile) and would love to have a blade done up by you.

No worries about that! I'll be putting up pics when they're done. Hopefully I can get started soon after Blade.

I second Phantom Steelworks! Chris Martin grinds out some sick pieces and he's a great guy to boot! He's very confident in his own futuristic biomech style.

Good luck on your search, - Thor

Here's my "War Thorn" from Phantom Steelworks. "Cracked Ice" finished, flat ground O1 with crater-textured, stacked black/orange G10 and glow-in-the-dark inlays. Really comfortable in both forward as well as reverse grip!

I love the cyber/biomechanical look to Chris's stuff. Too brutal. I am going to have to see about this...
