Need help finding a custom maker

[John Puckett]

I want to find a maker who makes hunting type folders. I want it to look a lot like a Gerber Gator, just with better materials. I want it to have that bowie blade look to it and also have some type of wood or bone handle along with some type of bolster. Can you think of anyone who makes knives like this? Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

John,

Checkout Keith Coleman's work. Here is a link to his SUV model which would serve quite well in the role you desire. He is very receptive to alterations or all out custom designs as well. His knives are solid and are great performers and the finish is very good. I find them to be outstanding values. Great guy to boot.

Well ill throw my hat in here, my "tactical" model is designed around being a good utility folder, the blade is reminiscant of a Morseth, if interested in more info, email me, and i will shoot you some pics, or do a search for my last name, you should be able to find it. Thanks Charles Marlowe

Thanks for the replies so far. I don't have any fixed blade knives, so I may want to get a custom fixed blade instead of the folder but I'm not sure yet. If I get a fixed blade it would in the 5 to 6 inch range. I still want it to have that bowie style blade.
