LOL,

I know the concept is laughable, every "quality" maker has long waits...

I am betting though, that there are a few 'unknown' makers who are good, or maybe a maker who is looking to get a blade into a Forum members hands to increase his reputation.

Ths situation is that I have failed to plan in advance and now find myself catching up and need a custom knife made in 2 months, not one day more, less is obviously, OK.

Any info you can help with would be great.

And, oh yeah, I am not made of money, but I understand the market and am willing to pay for what I want, but not a K an inch of blade, not even a C an inch.

If you can give some more detail as to what you're looking for, I'm sure you can get someone. What is the blade going to be for? What steels do you like, and what handle material? Are you looking for a fixed blade or a folder, and do you want a sheath with it? Is it for you or is it a gift?
Etcetera ad nauseum.

Marion,

Try Jerry Hossom too. He's the only custom maker that I've worked with who not only gave me a superlative product, but delivered it exactly on time (and a very short time frame for a custom maker, just shy of three months, but he made me two knives). You might want to ask him if he does Talonite. He's at www.hossom.com look him up.

The knife is already designed.

It has a 5 inch handle, 5.5 inch blade, and is 2 inches wide at the juncture.

The spine is flat to the tip, yet due to it's width retains a fair amount of curve.

The handle has a finger swell and lanyard hole. The material will probably be Micarta.

It will be made of Talonite first, and then maybe of a steel.

I should have it scanned in a day or so, then I can show you.
