On October 2nd, I sent an e-mail to our own Brian Goode (blgoode) and asked him if he could make a knife for me. Using some other knives from his site, I did a rough photoshop and sent a picture of what I wanted to him.
5 months later, after a lot of communication, design changes, and waiting, I got my knife. I tore open the package tube and stripped off the seemingly neverending newspaper. I anxiously pulled the knife out of its kydex sheath and I have to say that it's easily the most beautiful knife I've ever laid my eyes on. My money had more than paid off, and although I've only had it for less than 24 hours, I couldn't be happier. First off, it feels like a solid chunk of material painted different colors, as the fit and finish is great. The knife fits perfectly into the sheath, and the edge is sharper than my out of the box Delica or Griptilian. Enough, here are the pictures!:
As for the maker:
Brian was awesome during the whole process. This was my first custom knife order, so I was obviously new to the process. I changed my mind so much that I'm surprised I didn't get something completely different than I wanted. He kept me updated, sent me pictures of my baby in her beginning stages, helped me to decide on stuff, and we even just shot a few non-knife e-mails back and forth. Brian is a really great guy, and I'd highly reccommend him if you're looking for a fixed blade.
