I stepped away from the custom collectors scene, and active participation in this forum, some years ago. The reasons are multifold, but my interest in knives has remained. This year for example I visited Gembloux, increased my knife collection, continued my interest in bushcraft ( I can shave with an axe) and have even acquired some build your own knife kits for the long nights. I still admire much of the artistry and see some incredible talent in Makers that have risen up over the last few years.
What I have not done is kept upto date with new and older Makers, followed the trends, neither am I cognizant of what is "hot, and what is not" ..... fashion if you will.
As the end of the year is always a time for reflection, it would be highly informative to hear the observations of collectors, old and new, who have stayed closer than I, as to how the custom knife universe has evolved and changed over the last 5 or 6 years.
Cheers
