Where to find custom Knife / Leather sheath?

[woodmunky]

I'm looking to get a custom handmade knife for my dad's 70th next year. I'd like a damascus patterned blade and a handmade sheath with some unique artwork on it. No need for a firesteel.

Can anyone recommend a craftsperson who has an online portfolio of their work that I could take a look at? I have until May 2022, so plenty of time, but want to find the right smith for the job, as it needs to be something very special.

Thanks,
Steve

HELLIZE on ROF has just posted one that looks very nice http://www.realoutdoorsforum.com/forum/index.php?threads/damascus-hunter.3859/

I believe he was on this forum, for a while, but no more

Thanks @gra_farmer thats certainly close to what I'm after I'm looking to commission it though, so rather than buy one that's already made, I'd like to work with the smith to have the knife (and custom leather) made I'll take a look more at Hellize though (does look like they've left).

I meant to say that this was an example and to contact Hellize, often makes customs orders.

Oh sorry, that's me mis-reading, I'll see if I can track him down. Thanks again

Check out Dave Budd from this forum, you won't be dissapointed with his work.

You might have to go elswehere for the sheath if you want it with artwork and for that I can recommend Robert Radcliffe

I have excellent pattern welded/Damascus knives by Wendon Sharman, who you can find on Instagram.
Owen Bush is also an excellent maker, but they are more expensive.

Try Wessex Blades, the man is a genius at leatherwork, and would probably make it to your own design.

I am been talking to a friend about this and he highly recommends Guy Stainthorp

Quote from my friend: Stainthorp is the man for a special commission. He’s a lovely bloke, and he will enjoy working with him, for the special 70th present.
