If you want something beautiful, then get an expert to make it for you. If you want something to use, that fits your hand perfectly and that you can modify to your personal preferences then make it yourself.
I've handled two knives now, neither of which are beauty queens, but they both fit my hand. The great thing is that they'll always be a work in progress; if I ever get to use them for days or weeks at a stretch, and something starts to rub, I'll have no qualms about sanding that bit off.

Cheers, Michael.

I have made my first knife from scrath and the worst that can happen is that you goose it up and can then send it on to someone to be fixed but at least have a go at it yourself. Even if it aint the prettiest knife youve ever seen it will be YOURS!!

Have a go, if you mess it up you can send it to me. I'll reshape it for you free. If necessary I'll rehandle it for you.
What style of blade and tang is it?
