My EDC are Recon1 and Izula.
And there's nothing wrong with that.

But, that's just not it. My dream knife is very specific. Small fixed blade, certain shape and steel that is not stainless, is fairly tough and very wear resistant... handle shape, handle material... sheath material...

So, I've been refraining from purchases for a while now. I'd see knives that I like and that are similar - but that's just not it. It can be similar, but it is still not exactly what I want. Some of them are very expensive, yet still aren't exactly what I want... so I wouldn't buy.

So, I took a pen and paper, I made a sketch, then contacted a reputable knife maker.
He made detailed drawing with measures and everything put in, and it's perfect.

So I picked a steel, handle material and color, sheath material and color, sent first payment and now I wait.
It is kinda unreal to think that I'll finally get exactly what I want.

This is the rough sketch I made. Maker's one is way better, more refined, realistic and so on.

Very cool! Compound spearpoint vibe for me. There's a recent thread about short but tall/thick blades floating around.

I'm sure I missed it but what handle material are you getting?

Can't wait to see it.

I went with black G10 to keep it simple, and normal pins too (also to keep it simple).

Steel choice - Vanadis8.

And wide blade allows me to have thicker stock and still have fairly slicey grind on it.

And I just love spear points.
