I would buy that in a heartbeat if I could. Just can't spend that much on a knife without the wife losing a grip.

You never know how she will react until you try at least once.

I already did on a $720 Medford lol

It didn't go well, and I had to sell some knives I didn't want to just to make up the difference.

There are TONS of custom makers. Go custom and get exactly what you want. A lot of great knife makers out there!

I'm definitely going custom. Was just curious what other people would go for if they were in my shoes

I've come to the conclusion that I want a Japanese style blade this time.

Anyone have reccomendations other than Ben Tendick?

Thank you

I would recommend CAS Knives, NicK Wheeler.

If money was no issue I would unleash them on an epic Bowie build and let them do what they do best.

If money is not an issue, why not go on a semi-mythical journey into Japan while tracking down one of the last surviving Japanese sword maker masters from pre-World War II? I heard they go between $10,000 to $20,000 to create and they can do it specifically what you want.

I wont be able to give names because none of them go on the internet.

For Japanese influenced - I think Ben Tendick has been mentioned (of whose knives I am very fond). Other makers that I really like include Matt Gregory, David Mirabile, Dan Keffeler, Stuart Branson, and Burt Foster.
If price is really no object, you might talk to our friend Bob, about a Warenski! Mike

The above sounds fun. In addition, if you want an authentic traditional Japanese blade made by a Japanese national treasure, look into Yoshindo Yoshihara. Mike

I will also vouch for Keffeler. This is my Mon-Thurs knife.

Charlie Mike is one happy looking man, with one of Dan's knives. Mike

How about a Busse Silent Knight?

You would have to search the Busse for sale forum.

 

[jc57]

Commission a custom from Charlie Mike and ask him to charge you triple the normal price for it.

This is my "$1k Bowie"

I would definitely have a chat with Charlie Mike and have him make a fighter for you. Fighters are his game.

Seconded... CM, indeed.

 

[ExtraBaconPlease]

Charlie Mike have you done anything Japanese styled?
