Your favorite high end custom dream knives

This integral Moghul Fighter by Rodrigo Sfreddo is still at the top of my list.

There are several of Bruce's creations that would qualify, here is a picture of one of them:

Same is true of C. Gray Taylor...many to choose from such as this:

Howard Hitchmough makes as fine a folder as anyone and Tim George does exceptional engraving. Here is one of many:

Since Mr. Smith's knives were being compared in another thread recently...here is one of my favorites:

Another top folder maker Charles Bennica, and it looks to be using some Owen Wood "herringbone" damascus:

AND...speaking of Owen Wood:

Joe Kious "pocket" knives are legendary as are the skills of engraver C.J. Cai:

I would have to agree with Kevin Jones choices. W.F. Moran & E. Jay Hendrickson and A.G. Barnes too.

Joe, I just googled this to get an accounting. Made around 1300?

Apparently this incredibly important and historical sword (Japanese National Treasure) has been missing since 1946, presumably by an American in the military?

Say it aint so!

Coop as far as I know some are missing some are in museums.


All I know is that I would really like one :D

I know this thread is titled high end knives and this knife is by far the least expensive knife in the thread but i like it.

Some incredible knives posted here... a few would surely make my list. Here's one more, a damascus short sword made in the viking style by Andre Andersson:

Compared to much here, this might be a "unpolished" version of high end. :) Though no less deserving. A true work horse, of good pedigree:

Anyone worried about the "high end" reference in the title, don't worry! I am more interested in your dream knives assuming you don't own them. But I guess if you own your dream knife thats ok too.

These Schmidts are killing me!! I bet if you were fortunate enough to get one, you'd be after them all.
