Looking for custom knife made by maker called Stegner / Stienä / Steino

[Nordmann77]

Been asked to look out for custom knives which are made by a maker called Stegner / Steinä / or Steino...not sure of the name, just how it sounds (sorry) apparently they are $20,000 - $25,000 knives (apparently called credit card knives) I apologize for knowing so little about custom knives but I have a very good client who wants one and I don't know about knives especially ones in this price range.

Any ideas? suggestions?

I'm gonna' go out on a limb and say you're looking for Jurgen Steinau.
Google is your friend.

Hmmm....these Juergen Steinau credit card knives are hard to find...or should i say impossible...no wonder my client wants one....or two

Your client has 'caviar taste'. Jurgen is in the uber league of collectible art knives.

Your pricing is right on the money, from what I've noted. Google images has photos of sold knives, but you might get lucky.

My client does have a Beluga caviar taste...but he is a very good client so nothing but the best will suffice.

Thanks for all the advice and help everyone...I'm now on the hunt for knives.

Suggest you do a search for "custom knife dealers" and you might get lucky. You won't find any for sale, but some of the dealers who own Steinaus (they tend not to want to sell them) are Google-able. Just need to do some footwork and send a few emails of inquiry.

Are there any alternative makers who are as collectible / similar style / same price range.....if Juergen Steinau is the Koenigsegg of knife makers, who is the Bugatti Veyron, or even the LAMBORGHINI EGOISTA?...if you follow my meaning.

 

[betzner]

Sure there are. As someone mentioned earlier, Google is your friend.

David Darom is a name you should familiarize yourself with, he makes excellent books which contain a good range of the top tier knives/makers;

Research the makers who show at the Art Knife Invitational.

You will find this thread enlightening, and my post has my personal thoughts. Highest Precision Makers.
