Once again, I seek to draw on the experience and expertise of this excellent forum! I am designigning a neck-knife, skeletal handle, upswept 2.5" scimitar blade. I would optimally like it to be made of Boye dendritic steel, about which which I have heard wonderful things. Can anyone recommend a relatively inexpensive maker who would work with this material (I understand it is available for purchase), is willing to undertake a customer's design, and who has a turn-around time measured in months not years? It's a really cool design, meant to maximize functional cutting edge in a city that permits a maximum 2.5" blade. The sheath would be a kydex pocket rig, I'd probably get it separately from edgeworks. All information or suggestions greatly appreciated!! Thanks FF
(I'm posting this in the general forum as well - is that wrong?).
 
Rob Simonich pops to mind. He likes to work with a wide variety of steels. You could also make something like this yourself with very few tools. I have some BDS bar stock that I plan to turn into knives one day, using a dremel and some files.

If you could get to a local knife show, you would probably meet several less well known makers with plenty of skill to make something as simple as that.
