Could anyone make something like this...?
« 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?


 


Cheers,


ak.

Looks similar to the "Tracker" knife

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.

Al, I would check out some sights such as the BladeForum.com I think there maybe some folks there that could help you. I wasn't sure if I could post this on sight, thus the pm.
