Find a knife maker

[adelmur]

Hi every one,

First, sorry for my poor English !
I have been working on it for 3 years now (not everyday)

I think you my be able to help me.
I was wandering if you could help me find a knife maker to do a knife with my own design, if so, how much it would cost and how long it would take ?
I am looking for someone with CNC machining and computer assisted metal cutting.
I would like to test it in "real life" on a 9 month trip in Indonesia, South East Asia Nepal and Tibet leaving in may.

I came with a specific design for a survival tool.
Intended use is trekking / hiking / urban/ back country situation.
Every single part is a function.
The sheet will be 3D printed with carbon Fiber reinforced plastic.
accessories such as compass titanium screws flint and sharpening stones are already found
metal would be D2 or S35VN at least 1095

Also I wouldn't mind having your critics on this design.

I recently 3D printed a prototype.
I am fine with it.

I have all the vector file drawings including 3D file format.


So, can you help me find the right knife maker ?
Regards.
Antoine.

Sharp 3D models you have made.Cheers to you.Regarding your question, I could indirectly help you. Actually, an year back, my friend too was trying to design a 3D model of his bike's different metal body parts. He was searching for help from someone having experience in 3D printing area, but could not found or in some cases, they were charging incredibly high. In the end, but with the passion of making the 3D product, he started surfing on internet, visited various websites, collected thesis on 3D printing and eventually designed his bike's engine parts.So, Why not find out more here.
