New "Up and Coming" Custom Knife Makers

[Jon Brand]

I wouldn't consider Kyle and Elisabeth up and coming. They are receiving very high dollars for their work and are well established as makers. But BOTH have alot of time and room to keep improving.

I think Josh Fisher is worth mentioning.

 

[The Amazing Virginian]

I wouldn't consider Kyle and Elisabeth up and coming.

Neither would I.

I am amazed by some younger makers who have already reached such pinnacles after a relatively few years and have so many years ahead of them (if they choose) to climb new summits while others at their same age and experience might still be considered up-and-coming. Some names that come to my mind in this category are Elizabeth Loerchner, Emmanuel Esposito, and Kyle Royer.
