Hammer finish production folders?

Are there any makers of production level knives with a hammered finish on either the handle or blade that are readily available? I am not looking for any kind of folder in particular right now, just wondering about what's out there/what options I have. Or if not, is there anyone who does custom work/knife pimping that can add this finish to a knife/handles?

So far I have only seen the CRKT Fossil (hammered finish on handle not covered by overlay) and a few Mcustas (handle and/or blade depending on individual knife) for production level folders. The CRKT Fossil (large and small) didn't fit my hands very well. I have not tried any Mcustas in person.

To clarify on what I mean by hammer finish, I am referring to the little dents in the below pictures.

CRKT Fossil - I also like the concept/general look of overlaying the layer of G10 over the metal handle. Just not 100% on the way this particular knife looks.

Mcusta.

A chef's knife with a hammer finish on the top part of the blade with bigger detents.
 
Just here to mention that the 'hammer texture' on the CRKT Fossil is the result of stamping, or produced by rolling mills... either way, not actual hammer blows. If you compare multiples, you can see that every one of the dimples is exactly the same. I can't speak for the Mcustas, though I don't think you'd need to do much investigating to find out. Not that it really matters, I personally love the 'hammer finished' look, regardless of whether it's actually made by hammer or not.

I don't think there is much out there at the production level.
 
Yes should have specified it doesn't have to be done with an actual hammer. Just a hammer finish.
