I'm not quite good enough yet to actually call these customs, but what the heck.
I finished these two up last night, started them on friday. Biggun' is for my dads B-day tommorow its 8" OAL with desert ironwood. The other has mesquite, a scaled down version with a palm knife style handle, feels pretty good it's 7" oal. I have a drop point similar to the small one out in the shop, just need to get the ironwood epoxied on it, ran out last night :(

WOW, I really admire people that can make knives!!! I like the lines on those, and the handles are beautiful.

I like the design ::tu::

As for the makers mark, well, I still use a plain-ole hand engraver. I always find better places for the money :lol:

thanks all. I used a dremel and an engraving bit, However I see plenty of room for improvement, I don't have that steady of a hand.

Thanks for the comments. I have decided to sell both of them, I made another and my dad liked it better so he traded me the ironwood one back for the other. They are $75 each. Flatground, carbon steel, I think the rest of the specs are up top, if not email me and I'd be happy to answer any questions.
