Im gonna have to get a picture of a couple knives that were hand made for my buddy.
One is a fixed blade similar size to the SOG seal pup but a wider blade with blood grooves on the taper of the edge. Looks wicked! The handle is a hard rubber with cross cut sections for grip.
The guy made a sheath so he could wear it on his SWAT vest. He said it works better than any knife he has ever used. Knife was worth about $400 tho.

What steel was used? $400 is pretty hard to believe for a no-name custom knife maker

I didnt even ask. The detail on it is amazing tho. Its more of a fighting knife but holds a edge better than any of my cheap knives.
Im goin over to his house next week, ill play 21 questions tho.

Got mine in today, I like it for sure its just a bit big for what Im used to. Im going to give it a while and see how I like it. It definitely feels better made than my Kershaw and I like the contour of the grip better. WHich it ought to be a triple the price of my Kershaw. I still feel, bang-for-the-buck, you cant beat the Kershaw leek but this seems to be a well made knife for the money. Time will tell if it ends up getting the spot of my leek.

And a Scott style picture

Cody, what kind of highlighter is that? Looks like a BIC Brite Liner. I like those, good angled tip when you have some precision highlighting you need to do. Why did you go with blue instead of a more traditional yellow, or maybe neon green? In for more pics of your highlighter collection.
