suggest a knifemaker?

[Runs With Scissors]

I've got a bit of a dilemma, I was hopin' y'all might have some suggestions.

I want a custom knife knife modeled almost straight after the Spyderco Perrin. Except I'd like a full tang, hardwood handles, mosaic pins, differential tempering, and a good steel. (Perhaps A-2?)

Any suggestions on who to contact about such an endeavor?

(Fred Perrin himself would be an obvious suggestion, but I'm looking for a bit different style than his, in the same overall knife design)

RWS-
Generally, whatever maker you choose (post this in the makers forum, and see who bites) Would.should contact Fred to see if he's OK with a copy of his design. Lots of makers will allow it, but not everybody.

I've seen Chiro 75 do a couple....

although, you're probably right, better to treat such things on a case by case basis, to be on the safe side...
