(((Two things have postponed a custom knife purchase and that is cost, and the second is the grip.)))
First thing cost is a good reason not to by a custom. There are lost of good knives that are not customs. Second thing, most people will not buy a custom knife if the grip isn't high buffed and shinny , NOT a good reason not to buy a custom . If the handle on a custom is to smooth it's the buyers fault, because any custom maker will be glad to sell you a knife with a rough handle. You just have to tell him what you want.
