tbnoble4L · Jul 26, 2014

This is a new knife design Ive been working on for the last few weeks and Im looking for suggestions for a maker. I wanted to design a knife that had all the best parts of my favorite knives with a perfect blend of survive ability and fight ability.

10in Blade
Full Tang
5160
1/4in Thick
Flat Grind
Dark Red Micarta Scales

James Terrio is one maker I would consider, he really knows his stuff. Here is a link to his sub-forum here. http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/forumdisplay.php/897-Terrio-HandMade-Knives

Cool design BTW, and good luck! :thumbup:

Let me know if you find a maker. That's an awesome design. I would like to see that same design in like a 6.5" to 7.5" blade as well

Eh, to each his own I guess. Nice design though.

+1 for JT, he's an awesome dude, I'd also look at T.M Hunt, he has a sub forum here as well

A second vote for Big Chris in the KnifeMaker's section. Sounds like one he would like to do. He's a fine maker.

Big Chris is only an hour away from me so I have to check him out

How about "The Compensator"

Not meaning disrespect to the other makers but I too think Big Chris is a go to guy. He gets very high ratings all around from me on everything including communication, realistic time lines, top quality grinds and edges, excellent heat treats with the aim and results being high performing steel, grinds and comfortable grips. Good prices IMO for what he is selling.
