Who is the next custom knife maker to become "too hot to get"?

I don't mean really expensive, or just "popular", but who is so well loved in person and in quality that they are just destined to be overwelmed by orders at some point.
 
Blackwood, Tom Anderson, and Rick Hinderer...Derespina is also one to watch (at least I will be watching :) )

The question is an interesting one though...perhaps it should be linked to that thread on the custom forum ("is exposure worth the risk") for the discussion whether the Internet has "made" certain knifemakers

Grant Hawk
RJ Martin
Neil Blackwood
Bob Terzuola

. . .and not necessarily in that order. :)
