I need the names of some custom makers using Talonite. I know of Rob Simonich & Neil Blackwood. Are there any others?
 
I am sure there are others and that the list is growing since the article, but here are the makers that I am aware of
Kit Carson, Darrel Ralph, Ken Onion, RJ Martin Tom Mayo, Deryk Monroe, Alan Folts, Pat Crawford, LynnGrififth, George Gibo, Mike Lamprey, Allen Blade, Ivan Campos.

Note that Lynn and Tom were on the first response.
Thanks for adding Trace, Neil and the James Brothers.

Sorry Gus,
I posted that this morning before I had my coffee! I must not have been fully awake

You summed up the list very well. Tom Mayo has posted several nice Talonite knife pics in the Shop Talk area.
Lynn,
My plan was to have one available when I put the pictures up on my website. That one has been sold! I WILL be making more though. So far I like working with the material. My goal is to have a talonite knife for myself to "field test", hopefully soon

You guys have it pretty much covered for now, there are many many more but havent gotten permission to use their names yet. And dont forget Camillus Cutlery! Although they are not custom makers the Quest is a custom design and Camillus is dedicated on doing a custom quality piece with the Quest.....

No biggie Neil, but I did put a little effort into that list to be as fair as I could

. Did want anyone to be left out.

Same question appeared in the General Formum so hopefully this will build to a complete list.
I usually feel bad about these "who questions" because it is next to impossible for me to name them all, there have been times when I have left out people only because their name did not come to mind (some have been close friends), or I just did not know (Trace's, James Brothers and your use of Talonite.)

TOPS, to set the record straight is a manufacturer, and Mike Fuller is the headman. And they are indeed working with Talonite, I have the #6 Talonite Shadow Hunter, and I am very happy with it, excessively happy. The Talonite Shadow Hunter should be available within a month, I should think.

Allen Blade, as mentioned, makes a wonderful Talonite piece, the MEUK, a fancy acronym for a mortise tang drop point, but no matter how you call it, an excellent piece, I am waiting for mine.

Here is a link to an image of the MEUK:
