Can someone make me a custom knife in M390? If so, please PM me.

- 10" overall length; 5.75" blade length
- 0.196" thick; 1.70" wide
- M390 stainless steel (62 HRC), full tang
- Cryogenic heat treat
- Stabilized curly maple (hard not soft maple) scales, similar pattern as in picture below
- Lignum vitae (dark color) pins/plugs
- Plugs at 11/32" (0.3438") diameter standard drill size, can be cut out via plug cutter
- Cordage hole at 9/32" (0.2813") diameter drill size
- Pommel has exposed metal, 0.196" thick stock metal
- Full convex grind
- Convex/rounded distal taper
- Pouch style, brown burlap micarta sheath (burlap coffee jute bag)
- Tumbled and hammered in areas shown
- Hammered jimping, natural transition from hammered area of blade flat

Here's my design:

I contacted him - it's a tad bit over my budget unfortunately.

Any information you can provide, like a budget limit, would be helpful in getting you matched up with a maker. If you're looking large knife in M390 with desert ironwood handles and you've got $100 to spend, your search will end in frustration. Most makers are detail oriented people and the lack of any other information besides the desired steel is probably keeping many from even responding to you.
