I am happy to hear/read you do make custom knives. And I completely understand and support your position on being willing to wait and pay more for them. I have in the past waited longer and paid more to get what I wanted and will this time as well. I also support your position on makers needing...

Well said.

I actually never said I was only prepared to pay $200 - $400. I used those numbers because you can buy supposedly custom pieces in that price range all day long. If a maker feels that the price they set is not high enough then they should charge more. As a maker and a business owner you are...

A fair point to be sure. And there are a number who probably wouldn't be willing still more who honestly couldn't afford it. I have been in the the latter of the 2 categories myself before. That being said with my custom knives, and my tattoos I always pay more than the quoted price. I do so out...

I was tempted to edit my post, out of a concern that I was not expressing myself clearly. I'm glad I was wrong. I've looked at and contacted both bigger names and the no name guys including the guy 20 miles from my house. I worked for myself for years, and know what it's like to be busy and have...

I fully appreciate your position, but your response proves that you are still what I consider a custom maker. I am not suggesting that in order to be a custom maker you can only make commissoned pieces. Maybe the custom market is better in the U.K. but in the U.S. a lot of so called custom knife...

Nothing against the fine makers here in the U.S. or in the U.K. but when you have a set group of knives that you make, and you only make those knives, why call your knives Custom? They aren't custom they are limited batches of your brand of production knives they may be high end, but when you...

Thanks for the link based on their website they didn't seem to have much more variety than I've found at Tandy.

Howdy all I've got a couple new knives that I need to make sheathes for. Easy enough. On the leather front but I'm having trouble in the hardware department I'm having a terrible time finding eyelets with a long post seems the standard post length is 3/16" I'm looking for 7/16" or longer. Also i...

Trade pending

Stumbled on this Boker Brend folder missing the pocket clip, but otherwise in great shape. Interested in trading for Canteen cook kit in stainless or titanium GoPro or similar TBS boar or similar Wool clothing in solid earth tone colors.

Howdy all I've been consolidating my kit recently getting rid of things I don't use anymore or never used in some cases. In the process I came across this custom knife from a local maker. It's seen very little use and it just doesn't make it into my rotation. I kept my 2 favorite customs, let my...

PM sent. Hopefully we can work something out.

Yep U.S. That's why I can't just pick one up in a surplus store.

Thanks for the link, but I'm looking for a single pouch not a set.

So I bought my saber and 2 pouches direct from Karrimor. I'm more than happy with my purchase but I want to add a 3rd rocket pouch. Unfortunately I'm having trouble finding a single pouch for sale. Anyone know of a good place to get a single pouch or perhaps have an extra they want to part with?

I swear by my U.S. Jungle boots but I recommend going up at least a half size to accommodate a really good quality insole the stock one is garbage. And if i'm going to wear them in winter i like to go up a full size to accommodate a second pair of wool socks. I have a 17 year old pair right now...

Just like it says I'm looking for 1 in OD. I almost have enough to buy a new one but. If I could find one used in good shape I'd be happy. I have some trade items and some cash depending on what's offered.

For those of you who are interested in the progress of this concept/project I had some spare time after my interview today so I went to the Library to check into books on Permaculture, and to my surprise I found a group that meets 3 times a week. My schedule will only allow me to attend 1 of the...
