I can't speak for anyone else, but when I think of a nice production version of a custom that I like, I tend to lose interest in buying the custom version of a knife model. I can get a lot of the features of the model that I liked about the custom without the price tag. On top of that, the mass production seems to lose the uniqueness and scarcity that I once saw in the custom model. This isn't the case all of the time, but it has occurred often enough to make me start this thread. I'm guessing that it might do the opposite for some people and inspire them to want the custom version even more.
Does it change anything for your custom buying habits, negatively or positively? Does it depend on the case? I've avoided using specific examples in attempts to avoid any possible negative marketing this may do for any particular maker's knife model.
