My son is going to be graduating with his PhD in a short while and I'd like to get him something nice as a gift. He loves big knives like the Randall Fighting Stiletto design. But he's mentioned that he's not a Randall fan. So I'm looking for a high end knife maker who has something similar. Ideally a long double blade, 8", made of a good quality steel.

Do a search for Randall Model 2 replicas. I believe Cold Steel and Blackjack both made replicas. KnifeCenter might be a source.

If you go the custom route take a good look at the makers current reputation. And do not pay up front.

... are a few makers on here that make beautiful and highly functional knives. It's by no means exhaustive. I've got an O'Neill blade that I use and love and a Carl Colson safe queen. Also have a damascus scalpel from Phillip Patton which is really cool. Some of these guys make museum quality knives. Let us know what you decide!

Just saw this one. Looks spectacular.

Thank you! That is a great looking knife and the $800-1k price point is right about where I'm looking as well. I'm not sure if it's exactly what I'm looking for, but it's pretty close.

I hear ya... it's pretty ornate. Not a user, but I'm sure it's quite capable!
Keeping my eyes peeled...
