This is the only custom knife I have ever owned. I drew it on a piece of card stock and the knife maker did the rest. The blade is 440-C and the handle slabs are mesquite.

If I was to pick only one, I'd take my litehunter without question. Best working blade on game I've ever used.

This is my only custom, just picked it up last week at a RMEF banquet. I guess it would have to do.

Hadn't seen Charles May mentioned. As good as Gene easily. Charlie makes a nice knife and that's one of his best.. Another fav from him is the Bob White.. If you're into slim and trim these two are the sweetest ones I've ever owned.. [img] http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r74/RDFinn/MenefeeHunters.jpg[/img]

My favorite was a Rick Dunkerley until a hunter gave me a DiamondBlade last year.

George Herron Number Two. And no other. Steve I second a George Herron, he built me a custom gut hook with a deep belly that I drew out on a piece of paper the day i won the SC wildgame cookoff. It was a gift from my Dad for winning, ivory slabs, both schrimshawed by Bob Burdette, 8 pt on one side, and boss gobblers on the other. Knife no. 714, been offered boo coup money, not for sale.

This is a hard decision for folks that own many customs. This is an Al Alexander knife is on my desk right now, and it might be an "only one knife". This is Al's pic of the knife that I own. The Bartahatchie Skinner. http://aablades.blademakers.com/Knife_Image_PopUp.asp?Ref_Num=3708

What is Gene's wait time now? Don't know. I emailed him asking a few questions and he had that set and this set pictured below in stock. This set is still in stock, but I might buy it just because... Litehunter combo in Ironwood, D2 steel.

Gene is currently quoting January 2013 delivery. Kimberman, I'm pretty sure the light hunter combo isn't available anymore. As of Sunday the only combo available was the one you just bought. If the Litehunter is still available I want it!
