All the knives that I own are Japanese, but for a while now I've been tossing around the idea of getting a custom US made knife. I also, realized that I really don't know too much about the different makers other than the most commonly known information. I couldn't find too much from just searching through old posts either.
So I was hoping to hear from everyone what sets the custom makers here in the US apart from one another. I know that price can be a huge factor, but why would you buy a Rodrigue blade over one from Tsourkan? I know the DT makes amazing damascus designs and he is great with AEB-L but what else does he do that sets him apart from the rest of the pack? So my main question is who's knife would you buy? Why them and not someone else?
