Knife wanted

[Mannlicher]

A thread over in the wilderness skills area of the forum got me to thinking.
I believe that my "perfect" trail knife would be in the shape of a Randall Made #25 'Trapper', but made with a little more belly, a different curve on the tang/handle, the handle made from green Micarta, and the blade made from CM154 or 1095, not O1 steel.

Any idea of where to look for something like this?

Have you tried posting in the maker's section?

 

[Mannlicher]

no, but thats a fine idea.

Evidently there is no sub forum where one can ask if a maker can/will produce something other than what they offer on their own.

I'd appreciate anyone that can suggest a maker for me that can discuss working on this knife idea.

John in the JK Handmade Knives section has been a custom design building fiend lately. I would say you should drop into his section and post this.

Martin Knives (www.martinknives.com) might be able to help you. Their retro knives are near spittin' images of Randalls.

Ummm just pop in Shoptalk and just ask.... people do it all the time or look through the sales forums/galleries and see what maker jumps out at you.
