This is was made by a local knifemaker called Berkhouse Knifeworks near Pittsburgh, PA. I was browsing a gun show when it caught my attention. I walked out of the building without it the first time, but I knew I would have been kicking myself later for not buying it, so I went back in and snagged it. I'm sure glad I did. :D

3.75" blade
4.00" G10 or micarta two-tone handle (forgot to ask what it was made of :p)
7.75" OAL
1095 blade steel with a mirror-polish, razor-sharp convex edge
Excellent leather sheath
$120

Any and all opinions are welcome. :thumbup:
 
I guess my first custom was a small dagger a friend doing a blacksmithing course made for me,
 
This one was made by Mike Conner. It is a D2 skinner with Giraffe Bone scales

this one was made for me, to my specs, with the materials i chose... it's as custom as it gets. Mike did a great job

Looks like y'all got some very nice blades there. I'm starting to like 3-4" knives more and more because they're very usable. They're also more affordable.
 
I haven't gotten my hands on any yet, but one is on the way and two are being made soon. I can't wait for any of them.
 
My first custom was a Will Zermeno Harpoon. Loved it. Photo belongs to Mr. Zermeno and is not my own:

First custom that I ordered was a Direware Solo. Two of them actually. They'll be here in about 8 months.

But the first custom that will be in my posession is...

A Calavera Cutlery El Patron flipper in 3V. With one extra custom request...
Should be here sometime in October :D
 
My first two customs were from Jason Howards. The leaf shaped blade on top was my first custom. I chose everything. CPM154 at 62RC.
