Been thinking about what my ideal knife would be and came up with the following features that I like from current knives. Might have to contact a custom knife maker one day about incorporating all of these design features.
Thoughts and who do you think would be a good custom knifemaker for this?

Here are the knives for inspiration and the design features I would take from each along with my reasoning:
"New Pivot" Umnumzaan
Large pivot (for strength)
hex screws (for ease of maintenance)
dual thumbstuds (see below)
thumbstuds used as blade stop (for strength)
Perforated bronze washers (smoothness)
Ceramic Ball Bearing on Lockbar (smoothness)
Detent on blade for retention (keep blade closed)
O-ring on thumbstuds (cushion impact)

Carbon Fiber Sebenza
Blade shape (I like and practical for edc)
rounded spine of blade (comfort)
carbon fiber front scale (weight/appearance/strength)
Jimping on top of balde (non-slip)
Somewhat similar/simple handle design (K.I.S.S. / not too "tactical" looking)

Hinderer XM18
flipper (quick one hand opening)

Strider SNG
heat flame titanium for RIL side (appearance)

Spyderco
Lock stop for RIL - made from carbon fiber like on new Southard Flipper (no over extension / appearance to match front scale)
Deep carry wire clip (carry)

No specific maker
Flame titanium decorated back spacer (appearance)
