I want to find someone willing to make me a couple of my knife designs.

I'm not sure if this is the right sub-forum and if it ins't I apologize.

Recently I have made a few knife designs that I really want but unfortunately every time I try and make it my self something goes horribly wrong and I have I scrap it. My conclusion is that I lack the skills, material and tools to make the designs my self and lack the funds to develop/acquire them.

My hope is that I can find a friendly and reasonably skilled knife maker here on the forum to make my designs. The designs aren't too extravagant or complicated so they shouldn't be too hard to create by a skilled hand. They are also in simple/common steels so acquisition of steel and heat treat shouldn't be too difficult either.

Depending on how much you will charge I would be alright with rough handles or no handles on some models.

I also don't have many designs to do, under/approximately 6-7 different designs and none of them are too big either, and mostly in 3/16 thick or 1/8.

As far as communication you could reply in this thread and I will PM for specifics

Thanks to whoever replies

If they're fixed blades, go the knife makers forum. There are several who will work with you and make the design you want.
Good luck in your quest

All of them are fixed, I'll try the knife makers forum as well. And thanks, I fear I'll need the luck

Should I go into the "for sale" or the "general knife makers area"?

Go to the general knife makers area first, read some of the threads, and that should give you an idea of who will make the knife. you want
