What is the Grimsmo Norseman considered? Mid-Tech, Production, Custom?

[Anarchy84]

Strictly speaking, I would say it’s definitely not a midtech, as nothing is being farmed out. Every single thing is made in house, including the fasteners.

It’s produced using high end production equipment, yet most of the knife itself is custom designed by the maker. He even writes his own code.

Honestly I would say it’s a very unique company within the knife market that makes great products that are difficult to categorize given the way things have been done previously, and their divergence from that path.

I'd go D) Handmade.

For me, custom is tailored to the customer.. otherwise it is either a production pattern or handmade pattern, both of which have no input from the customer.

That said, I'm not saying my view of the word custom should apply to everyone. But to me, how can you have a custom without a customer outlining what he or she wants?

If someone has a sign custom made for them I'd imagine it would say what they want.. otherwise they just buy a premade sign and it isn't custom then. So who is it custom for?

Good lord, the word custom is being used to many times lol

What of I want a custom exit sign and I find someone who specializes in making custom exit signs?
