I've only owned about four customs, one by Scott Gossman/Razorback Knives. The other is a custom Buck, and the last two were from a maker in Lancaster PA. From what I've seen in magazines, I really like Bob Doziers FB's, and would like to get one someday. I also really like Kit Carsons M16 and M18 series. So, I would say Scott, because I just asked to be put on his waiting list for a big camp blade, he's really the only true maker I've bought from. Second, Bob Dozier, and third Kit.
