I have seen over the last year some intrest in customizing production knives,Emerson more than others and decided to simi customize my CQC7,Ti Bolsters,Drilled G10 backspacer, Maroon linen micarta scales,Anodized and jewled liners.
I finished the bolsters and backspacer lastnight and I am satisfied with the outcome so far,the knife should be complete this weekend.
The reason for this post is to test the waters to see if there is a market for this type of customizing from a no name up start at reasonable prices (pricing undetermaned at this time)but will be reasonable nonetheless.
This is going to be my way of braking into the knife making world kind of from the outside in so to speak.
I continue this project with the same amount enthusiasm as when I started so I know I am hooked.
I will finish out this post with with a Thank you to a knife maker who spent a great deal of his valuable time teaching me the in's and outs of knife making or customizing in this case Larry Chew one of the most prolific folder makers in the world.
Thanks in advance to all who read and reply.
