BlackPineToolCo for the win. He made me this blade to my specs. It turned out beautifully.

I love it. Are these still available for order/purchase?

He will make you one to order how you like it. He has a thread where he posts all his knives.

Daado , no doubt.

I don't own all of these anymore.....but wish I did

I’ll take that one

I apologize for not mentioning giedymin and Dulo knives. All three ( Daado , giedymin and Dulo) are incredible nice people, working and humble. They will make exactly what one request.

I disagree that custom means made to your specifications. Does it being made to someone else's specifications suddenly change the knife to a non-custom when you buy it? Or is Tom Mayo not a custom knife maker because he doesn't take orders, he just makes whatever he wants to make and people buy it? Custom just means it has artisanal quality in not being mass-produced by a factory. Mid-tech has some aspect of both.

My favorite custom, hard use, fixed blade maker is Jackal Ridge Knives. Absolutely Marine-proof. He does the leatherwork and customizes that, too.

Lots of awesome custom bladesmiths on this forum, and I wish I could afford one or two from each of them. I'm not even sure if the few "customs" I have really qualify. They include a Dozier K1 with beautiful jigged bone grips which I bought down in Wharton, Texas from Carroll's Gun Shop around 20 years ago with my first pension cheque, as a reward for having lived long enough to get something back from the government for a change; a Scandi in 1070 by Ivan Campos of Sao Paulo, Brazil, handled in gorgeous ivory ebony by Kris Klammer of Edmonton; a kukri forged by who knows who somewhere in Nepal. which I picked up around 30 years ago in Edmonton, and a couple 112's from Buck's Custom Shop. I'm expecting FedEx to drop off my 110 in Magnacut, nickle silver frame and elk grips tomorrow.

I'm adding Matthew McAlevy to the mix. Great knives out of Pennsylvania. He's on here, but I can't remember his handle...
