David's knives are pretty amazing bits of work. He does a lot with scrimshawed or painted scenes on the handles (done by Carol Ann O'Connor) and sells those knives for a pretty sum to US based collectors. He makes some beautiful hunters.
Here is one Jason Cutter owns

http://www.brodziakcustomknives.com/gal ... lga_Hunter
i'm getting Bandit engraved on the blade too... i was suprised, very reasonable prices! the knife, engraving, leather sheath and postage should fall at about 345! (assuming the postage quote is correct)
will post some pics of my own in about 7 weeks when it arives =D
cheers,
bandit

Ditto.

There is no use focusing on aiming if you don't execute the shot well enough to hit what your are aiming at.

Yes there are some nice shop bought knives around today but getting a custom knife is very special.The one you picked looks great.Be carefull though as it is hard to stop at one.
