Does anyone know if any of the custom makers do that stuff?

Most guys in prison are quite adept at using plastic.:D

I think Kevin McClung makes non metallic knives, but he limits who has access to them.

The only one who comes to mind is Warren Thomas, who does CF/Ti with Ti-carbide edges. Keep in mind, if you weren't already, that there's almost no way to get edge retention and/or sharpness equal to a good steel blade from anything OTHER than steel (maybe stellite, but I'm not sure that's sufficiently nonferrous.)
 
Are you looking for something as a display piece, utility, or emergency use? I used to keep a polymer blade in the shower... always got soap scum on it...

I handled a Warren Thomas at the last show, it was pretty slick with the carbide edge, but that was all metal.
 
I bet there's still some guys who knap(spelling?) flint knives... ;)

Kind regards,

Jos
 
Hi Steve,
Thanks for the recommendation. Want a non metallic neck knife to be able to pass through metal detectors at concert events. Crime is getting bad where I live.

Clifford.....as a martial artist, and someone who spent a fair amount of time looking for trouble, found it, but still avoided the felony hits...it might be time to move, and it is certainly time to find a different area for concerts.

What you want to do will, at best, find you having your weapon confiscated and ejected from the concert, and at worst, stewing on ice for a while, with a civil suit waiting for you when you get released.

Good luck, and Best Regards,
