How about an intro?

For the "damascus" head knife, you would best go to a Tandy and get one. If you want Ivory, you're going to have to do that yourself. A head knife is a serious and difficult piece for pattern welding to start with, unless you want something rather small like a couple of inches tip to tip. Anything of size is going to be a project for a really serious pattern welder, and for the guys I know who can do it, they would have to be interested, in other words, the commission would have to interest them, and $5k would maybe get them started, not saying what it would final out at.

Jeremiah Watt can also "fancy up" his tools, which are darned good (and a little fancy) to start with. Bob Douglas makes the best awl on the planet, but it ain't fancy.

If you want something pseudo-flashy, go get that Tandy thing.

Is this list still relevant? Are there any others?

It's an older thread but still pretty relevant as far as knife makers go. To add to the list here are two I have bought great knives from:

Knipshield Custom Knives: http://www.knipknives.com

Leather Wranglers: http://www.leatherwranglers.com

My avatar is a knife made for me by IMHO one of the most talented knife makers in the world, Master Blade Smith Bill Burke.

I couldn't agree more with Spinner. I own one of the Leather Wranglers head knives, and I own 3 knives (Chan Geer model, straight trim, curved trim) and one draw guage blade from Terry at Knip Knives. Both Paul and Terry are top notch guys who love doing what they do. Their knives show it, too.
