Mr. Branton, I absolutely love the design of the Ripley knife, but it is way out of my price range. What are the chances of you offerring this in a less expensive (and easier to work) steel, like 5160, A2, 440C, or even 1095, with some type of powder coating or something on the carbon blades (to help prevent rust)?

Sorry for the delay. Ripley was a real special design that I made for Paul. It was not designed to be a mass produced piece. It takes up a lot of steel and will have to be water jet cut. It just would not be cost effective to make one or two.
Thanks,
Bobby
