What AREN'T custom makers doing?

I don't think custom makers are posting in/on this forum enough?

Here's one I've learned from paying attention to my collector buddies and I- it's weird.

I'd love to have/carry a "light use tactical". A folder that has the design and lock features of our favorites from Strider, Hinderer, ZT collabs, etc BUT since we often don't need an overbuilt folder and/or tend to carry more than one, there are a few differences:

-Crazy thin, crazy sharp edge. NOT good for survival, just good for wowing your buddies and making carrots cry.
-Lightweight, like a linerless carbon frame similar to the 0777.

In the current market of many fantastic choices at every price point, this is what is lacking for me and the rest of Southeast PA

Not enough kitchen knives...

There are a lot more kitchen knives now than 4 or 5 years ago.

that is for sure a fact i started there about 8 years ago since the hunter/ bowie market was so full (and good tools will always sell)

They need to start phasing out of titanium framelocks. It's starting to get stale.

Also, I'd like to see more decent axe makers out there.
