Hello
Blade:
Hello Ralph, Yeah custom knives can be expensive. Sorry I never got back to you with a price, I meant to send you a PM, my knives range from $350 - $1200 depending on materials and how complicated the design is to build. Sometimes you can design in features that require a lot of extra work and time. I have added a couple of pics of a knife in the upper range, all of the curves make the knife harder to build, the pivot is made from damascus bar stock also and the radial hole pattern was done on a dividing head. I normally use factory made screws for most of my knives so adding custom parts and fancy materials adds to the cost. A nice set of ivory scales can cost $200 or more and damascus can run $15 -$20 an inch or more so the cost for the maker can add up quickly also

A grand for one knife :bugeye: :jaw: :bugeye:
I have spent £80 on my leatherman and close to that on some other purchases but a grand!!!!
Some quite nice to look at, but I'd be scared to use it!
I dare not ask how much yours are any more Eddie!
Just been re-reading all this.. Maybe some of it should be transferred to the how-to's section? there's a lot of useful info in there on hardening and tempering :thumbup:
I will one day have a go at all of this.... Just got to finish building my house, sell it, but another house with land or ready build workshop space and then kit it out and have a go! After finishing the 8/9 current projects off that is!!! ::)
Ralph.

Ok, so... Nice is a bit of an understatement..... I'd still be scared of scratching it!! :)
I think that knife looks a lot better than the ones shown on that other site. Purely on looks, materials mean nothing if they look rubbish. (My opinion.... No one shout at me please. )
I have a feeling that the side clip might be a little stabby though? Looks quite pointed?
I do very much like the style though :thumbup: :clap:
Ralph.
