........I also like a brutally deep hollow grinds, but there are almost no makers that do this aggressively enough for my taste. I tend to compare aggressive hollow grinds to the work of the late Jody Samson, which sets the bar very high. And I prefer to buy and collect the knives of makers who are upstanding, warm, and sociable people. Who are still humble enough to talk to a new collector. Since I don't know many makers, if anyone thinks of other makers who fit my fav criteria, feel free to mention their name to me.
I cant pick my favorites but i can name a few that i own and really enjoy; Randy Doucette, Sean O'Hare, and ?, in the process of picking my next custom knife.
