Ok been looking for a while (even in the custom stuff) and I can't seem to find the knife that I have been wanting for a while (there are some custom that fit but are out of my price range). What I am looking for is a 2 3/4-3 inch deep belly drop point bush knife with wood handles. To be completely honest with you I fell in love with the look of the fiddleback palmer but can never find one or afford it so im looking for something comparable. Either production or custom but I need to stay around 150 bucks. Please help make my dream come true and point me in the right direction by telling me a manufacturer or knife maker who can help.


Ps I would have posted this in the wtb forum but I didn't know what to ask for
 
Preferably a leather sheath with pocket clip (will be a back pocket carry) but I know that drives the price up so im flexible on that
 
Ive been told to look at neck knives and that is kind of the idea but I want one with wood handle and leather sheath, not cord wrap or micarta and kydex. I have bk11 and its great but not exactly what im looking for
 
I would recommend looking at the custom maker's pages, send emails out to a couple of them stating what you just said in the post, and I'm sure that you will find someone able to help you. I just bought my first custom earlier this year and the maker and I exchanged about ten different emails before we got the idea of the knife to be just what I wanted. If you really are looking for a dream knife a custom is probably the way to go, get the dream out of your head and into steel.
 
Both ML and Fletcher were places I have looked and love their work but both have long wait lists. I dont mind waiting but i figured I would ask the forum if they knew of any other before I put myself on a 6 month wait list. Good call tho because I do love both of their work
 
Izula with custom wood scales? I've seen that combo several times and it looks great.
 
I can see that but Id have to find those scales or have them custom made and then would need to have a custom leather sheath made for it. I was hoping someone knew of something that was close to what I am looking for but I may need to just ask someone to custom make one for me.
 
If you are serious about this, send me a drawing. I`m sure I could do it for you, about 25% of my orders are customer drawings.
