Show Us Your Traditional Customs!

[TattooBlade]

Here's a couple of my favorites from my two favorite custom makers; Bill Ruple and Luke Swenson. These guys make some amazing usable art! And yes, I use my customs. That's what they're made for!

That sounds cool. I don't think I've seen any of his knives with a zulu blade, lots of clips and they sure look good. He's definitely a maker to covet.

I'm a bit of a steel snob when it comes to my hunting knives, so I have a couple of customs in high hardness steel.

I love the Toole Native. Been thinking about signing up for IG so I can contact him about one.
