New Pig Sticker
Saw a post on another board I frequent about a guy who makes custom knives, and I contacted him for some info.
I told him what I wanted: matte blade, semi-tanto tip that would stand up to some abuse if necessary, small enough to be unobtrusive and carried horizontally in SOB (not over 9.5" overall). He said he thought he knew what I wanted and made me a knife.
Here is what he made. This cost me $140.00 shipped to my front door. Lemme know what you think.

i have had one real similar to that since 1978 or so , an eldon courtny mod 33 ( he called it an alley fighter lol ) and it has served me well in a lot of tasks . I dont belive eldon is with us anymore and its a pity because he was a truely unique gentleman

Slightly narrower handle. back of blade cut down a bit to bring it to a bit more of a point without giving up the durability of a semi-tanto, maybe a little larger finger groove. This knife is 9.5" and I am having him lose 1/2" off each end so as not to screw up the balance, but lose an inch overall. Guy making these is a real talented guy looking for different needs, so I let him get creative with knife #2.

Newer Pics. This guy's name is Andy Sharpe and he makes a great knife. PM me if anyone out there wants his contact info. Sheath is kinda rough, but he told me it would be. He said he's aknife maker, not a leather guy.
Perhaps one of our esteemed leather experts would be willing to accept some money from me to make a SOB horizontal carry sheath with a thumb break?
