Cheap calipers for scribing. $16
Sandpaper, flap wheel for grinder, new file. $50


Nope, no way I could afford one of those rich dude customs.
Hell, those things cost $150-200.

Look at what I'm saving.

And I don't even have a knife yet! sick

I will build one myself.

It cheaper that way. wink


Sorry to point out that you forgot to include the cost of scales and a sheath. Inluding finidhing for both that can easily be another $100+
