So far this year?

[blademan 13]

Owen's post in the Gallery gave me an idea. What has 2001 brought to all of you custom junkies out there? I thought it might be interesting to see what customs you forumites have received, or have ordered and expect to receive, in 2001. I'll start;

Robertson/Broadwell MLR sub-hilt (#18)
Robertson/Broadwell MLR Fighter (#18)
GenO Denning black micarta model C
GenO Denning stag model C
Matt Lamey 9" Camp Bowie
Allen Blade 10" CPB
Keith Coleman stag/damascus Banshee
Darrel Ralph forged 52100 EDC (#10)

That should preetty much get me through the year, but who knows, sometimes something unexpected drops in

John Fitch Master Smith test dagger.
Dale Reif TKCL Folder.
Broadwell/Bradshaw TKCL collaboration.

Way on down the line. (years)

[OwenM]

Well, you already saw my EDC.
I've also got an integral lock Apogee in 420V, CF ArcLite in D2M, and a FB of yet undetermined specs ordered from Darrel.
I fell in love with Darrel's knives (I like him alot, too

), and they will all be users.
Thinking about a custom Busse or Strider, too.

Guess I will jump in here also. Following are the ones I have bought so far;

-Carson Model 4 with ti bolsters and G-10 handles. 154 CM fighter style blade.
-Carson Model 16 ti frame with 4" 154CM blade
LOVE THEM CARSON'S

-Crawford Falcon ti frame satin finished 154CM blade. Great edc.
-Crawford Tiger ti frame satin finished ATS-34 blade. Another great edc.

-Darrel Ralph MADD MAXX. This is the ultimate!

Have another smaller MM on order from Darrel.

[Brian Lavin]

Only custom I have on order is a very large folder by Ray Rogers, but it's probably not really a true "custom", but rather, handmade, since it is a model he has made before. But, it's a custom to me!

Patience mode is, ON!
