I'd jump on this. Any chance you could make it a bit more than 15/16 though ?

I would definitely jump on this if it happened.

I know I'd trace anything I had that other guys wanted. Let's say for instance Denmason would trace that 10/8 monster he has, if Butch was willing to make a run of them. I for one would gladly double up my shipping cost. that should allow for things like thumb notches, decorative spines, jimps etc.

the grinding of the bevel/hollow and the heat treat are the parts i'm not comfortable with. I think if I had steel in hand I'd be comfortable taking it into the shop and doing some shaping.

How much are we talking $$ wise? You know, you may find you do more business with this than you do with kitchen knives if the price point works out right! I for one am not really a collector, I go for the blade itself. if I could get new blades the way I want I'd never buy old ones.

but need feed back cause of the $$ on set up

so you could take the pic(at bottom ) and draw what you wanted you blade to look like (inside the lines ) and then ask for a grind style

the blade would be fully heat treated and belt finished ready for scales and honing
you option of std pin hole or 1/8 folder pivot set up with all hard ware (screws washers and pivot its self)

feeed back welcome

Put a barbers notch on it & tell me how to pay for it

There are guys/places you can send a knife off to to get laser etching done.

Excellent project!!!

Depending on Price point, Yes. I would be on this like a monkey on a sweet potato.
