List Your Favorite Custom Makers

It would be funny to see the differences in makers listed if this was posted in different forums. I can't make a list but theres tons of nice stuff out there.

I lean toward sole authorship damascus makers but not to start that arguement up again. Its just my taste and makes me smile the most but is not necessarily "better". :)
 
There are Makers that I'm sure if I owned examples of their work would become favorites...but, of the Makers that I have.

Bailey Bradshaw.
Craig Camerer.
John Fitch.
Don Fogg.
Don Hanson III.
Shiva Ki.
Jason Knight.
Matt Lamey.
Chris Moss.
Matt Roberts.
Rodrigo Sfreddo.
Daniel Winkler.

Doug
 
DDR

Reese Weiland
 
Those who came before and broke trail:

Buster W.- The Best
Rob Hudson- Great damascus- even better human
Jim Schmidt- Incredible gentleman and believed it was a knife first, art second
Hugh Bartrung-Ahead of his time
Bill Moran- Promotion of the forged blade
George Herron- First class man that I was fortunate to spend a week with when I was 15.
Rudy Ruanna- What an impact he made here in the Northwest. What a character



Current Day Idols:

Harvey Dean-
Larry Fuegen
Tim Hancock
Wolf Loerchner
Don Fogg
Jurgen Steinau
Owen Wood
Dan Winkler
Kaj Embretson

I just noticed something. Each person I listed is a better person than they are knife maker, and that is saying something. I just hope I can emulate these guys as not only a knife maker but as a person as well.

I know there more, just to many to list.
