Title: Could anyone make something like this...?
Post by: Al Kidner on February 13, 2010, 09:49:00 PM

Hi all,

 Well below is a pic I've had for some time now from a maker here in aussie that no longer makes these knives at all and I was hoping someone would be able to help me out in either building one for me or knowing some knife maker that wold tackle it?

Thanks mate, and yes something along those lines. But I'm after someone who could match it one for one.


Cheers,

If you find out, let me know also. That looks like a heck of a knife.

Al, the maker can't make just one more? how about asking him for his customer list maybe you can get a used one..just some thoughts.
