I have it bad for a knife that I want, but the maker I was referred to is not responding or otherwise not answering emails, phone calls, etc. Any takers that I could work with to make one very similar to the knife below? Hand forged blade, about 3 1/2" cutting surface, full-size grip (the one in the picture is 4" if I remember correctly. The grip shown is black micarta. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.bartles.net/misc/forged.jpg)
If it has whipped cream and chocolate drizzles on it, it’s dessert. Grow up and get a coffee damnit

Pretty basic knife. I am sure anyone of the host knifemakers on here could do it. What steel you looking for?

I beleive most of the guys on here are stock removal guys but I do recall a few that have done some forging as well.

I had to go back and look...
The steel is 5160, flat ground, 3" cutting surface with a 3/4" choir.
I thought the handle was micarta, but the one pictured is buffalo horn...
I am open to suggestions... I saw this about three years ago and have the itch ever since...

bruce culberson of b.c. could probably make you a fine knife--he forges & stock removal. my 2 52100 forged in bodark & cocobolo are increadible. he does'nt hang in this particular forum much but you can p.m. me for his info. expect at least a 10 month wait.---cranky72

If you wish to stay with 5160 you should get hold of Lin Rhea. He and Terry Primos (sadly retired from bladesmithing) have made my favorites in that steel.
You can no more tell someone how to do something you've never done, than you can come back from somewhere you've never been...
