I found a medium sized fix blade knife in my grandpas basement, when I asked him about the knife he told me that his father had made it for him and had taken poor care of it assuming it would not break. The blade had ended up snapping when he was prying open a can and now he can no longer use it. I was wondering if you could recommend a custom knife maker to replicate this knife so i could give it to him as a gift for his next birthday. I have photos and sizes please let me know.

It's probably preferable to post pictures of the knife here along with dimensions - it might be suited to a certain maker's style, materials, availability, etc.
 
Howdy,
There's a better place for this type of thread. I'll be moving this to:

Wanted: Knifemaker / Craftsman / Related Services
Have a knife design you want built? Heat treating needs? Damascus Desires? Embellishment Enquiries? Creative Customization Curiosity? This is your place to solicit work. Anyone can post threads, however ONLY KnifeMaker / Craftsman / Materials Providers may reply to threads

A picture of the knife in question will help in finding the write maker.
 
I could make you one very close to that. I may even be able to use some of the original pieces such as the pommel, guard, etc. if youd like. Or I could make everything new. I would need the old knife to be able to duplicate it as close as possible anyway. I could send it back with the new one. I could probably reprofile that one and make it uasble again. You can do a search in my profile for examples of my work. All my contact info. is listed below. If interested, email or call me.
