Since you're looking for suggestions, it would appear that you don't have very specific ideas of what you want in a custom, other than ""something that doesn't look like everyone else's knife. So, if you like Spydercos, you might want to consider finding someone to customize a model you know you like. To my way of thinking, you get the best of both worlds that way, a knife you know you're going to like and want to use, and one that's not only unique, but uniquely yours.

Jake Hoback is doing a mid-tech Kawaiback. I have a friend that is in his books. He said he's going to close them sometime this week though.

You can Youtube it to see the knife. Jim Skeleton has a good vid out about it.

Other customs knives I've been interested in are Will Moon's MK6 or MK7. And Jason Clark's Tanto or Clip point flippers.
