First Customs

[Quiet Priest]

Hey everyone! This might be infantile but: Whoooo Hoooo! Yipeeee! I just ordered my first customs. A Crawford Flacon folder, and a Rinaldi LEO. You guys who are longer time collectors and knifenuts; what were your two first customs?

Well I'm still waiting on my FIRST custom as we speak. I Drove across town to the makers shop and discussed it with him. I should see it sometime around Christmas this year. Who knew we had a Knifemakers Guild member here in town? Two in fact! So my first custom will be a Keith Coleman custom knife.

Interesting responses. Am I justified in thinking that from now on my addiction has escalated, and my habit will only be in $$$ custom knives? Do you guys ever buy store bought knives anymore? I think I'm going to order another custom today!!!
