Randall Made Knives: (I know these aren't considered custom generally, but these two are unique and should qualify for this forum)

2) Randall Fireman Special/ Search and Rescue #5. Orange micarta, this knife is #5 in Jim Behring's Search and Rescue dealer special. Original sheath and stone, Randall zip case. WITHDRAWN
Other makers:
John Fitch, JS Hunter. John is an MS now, but this sweet little hunter was made before he graduated to Master status. It is marked JS for Journeyman Smith. Still the prettiest blade I've seen from Big John. It was reputedly one of a set of 8 made for a hunter to give to his friends. It has a huge caramel streaked fossilized walrus ivory handle and a beautiful hand forged blade. Hand tooled leather sheath. Sweetness. WITHDRAWN
JR Cook, MS. Cook is an Arkansas Living Treasure, which means he is a badass. I want Willie Nelson to have the same honor in Texas.This is a boot knife, damascus with nickel furniture and big scales of fossilized mammoth ivory. Hand-tooled leather sheath with clip rather than loop. Sharpened top clip. $500. REDUCED TO $450. Sold Pending Funds
And now some folders....
1) Mike Alsdorf, peanut slipjoint, jigged amber bone. WITHDRAWN
2) TA Davison, leaf blade slipjoint, modestly fileworked, pretty walrus ivory scales. Very nice. $300. Sold Pending Funds
3) TA Davison, jack knife, black dyed jigged bone, filework to end of blade. $250.Sold Pending Funds
4) Don Morrow single blade trapper. Amber stag. Terrific filework. Beautiful and balanced. Morrow is a protege of Bill Ruple and it shows. WITHDRAWN
5) GW Stone. Hard to categorize, this is a hefty slipjoint, a 10 on the pull scale, and all stainless. This dates from the late 60s/early 70s, and is unused and unsharpened. Stone was an early/founding member of the Knifemakers' Guild. WITHDRAWN
6) WC Davis lockback toothpick. Long, slender blade with handsome stag scales and red liners. Very sweet. WITHDRAWN
NOTE REGARDING BAILEY BRADSHAW SUPERFANTASTIC COMPRESSION LOCKBACK: WITHDRAWN AND NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN UNLESS YOU ARE MY UNBORN GRANDCHILD (If so, please PM with pics)
Thanks.
