Hi John,
I'm afraid I can't afford to commission one at the moment unless my leatherwork sales pick up, but have you ever put any thought into making leatherworking knives? Truly nice ones are hard to come by (my parents just bought me one of those $100 "nice ones" a couple months ago and they got overzealous with the grinder at the factory and lost some of the edge hardness) I know you do outdoorsmen's knives, but lately I have noticed quite a few outdoorsmen trying out leatherwork, so maybe it is a trend you can help along? Here are a couple links to the leatherworking knives, called head knives, round knives, or half-moon knives:
