Hello BF, I am wanting to try something new in my knife hobby. I have never ever owned a custom knife before. For the most part, they are a little pricey, but it comes with the territory. I’m not very familiar most custom knife makers other than ones I stumbled on in posts on BF or ones tied in with production manufacturers.
I plan on buying one within the next month or two, and would like to keep the cost around 350 dollars if possible. I prefer a mid-sized folder but they generally run higher in cost. So I will probably go with a 3.5-4 inch medium sized fixed blade suitable for edc.
I want something with a carbon steel blade such as A2 or 01. I checked out Dozier and Phil Wilson’s website but they are backed up on orders. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

However, I suggest you decide what you mean by "custom". Some mean a knife made "one off" by a maker; to me it is one made to my specifications/design. If you go that route, I believe you should first sit down and start drawing (no need for artwork here 
) different designs you think you would like and, when you have gotten to what you want, make sure you send a drawing, with specs, to the maker you pick. By the way, I had all of mine done in O1. 
Good luck.
