Unfortunately I messed up and put this in the Custom knives section and Keith M. Kindly pointed me here to you guys. Hopefully you can help me.

I've been dying to get a custom folder however after all the searching it appears most of the guy's offer their custom (designs) and I cant seem to find someone who can make one of my design. Wondering if you guys can point me in the right direction? It's somewhat of a tactical piece being similar to Emersons P-Sark but different enough where it's its own. Here's what I'm looking at for materials:

Anticorodal AL or even a titanium handles/body
Micarta/G10 for the handle scales
CPM M4 or similar balance between wear/toughness w/ a great HT. I'd take D2 if you can get Doziers HT :P

Anyhow let me know what ya got fellas: )

Thanks :thumbup:
 
Many makers will work with you on a design, if you're flexible and willing to take their suggestions to improve your design, reduce cost/time to produce and/or fit with their making style then you'll probably be able to find a lot of folks willing to work with you. I don't know his process, but there's not much mystery to D2 heat treating, so you shouldn't have a problem there as long as the maker uses a reputable source or has consistent and standard home treating practices.

Do you have a design that you can post here? You might get more interest.
 
You might try Rick Haney. He sounds like your kind of maker. See his postings over in the Knifemaker Gallery...
 
Thanks alot fellas. I got a few emails as well so we'll see how this pans out. Of course I'll do a full review after I get 'er done :p Hopefully if we can do it, it'll be a beast of a knife.
