Behold! Add your own custom touch with a DIY knife kit!

Not affiliated with these guys just found them through StumbleUpon. Might I say that their kits look awesome? Price wise and product wise? Anyone ever bought a kit from these guys? I am really liking the selection as well as the custom aspect of handle materials and what not.

Plenty of people like them/their products. They're a good starting point for learning how to customize knives. I've ordered plenty of miscellaneous parts from there in the past with no problems.

Their Typhoon balisong kits are fairly popular amongst the flipper/customizer crowd.

Darrel Ralph designed. I like a lot of his stuff.

I have two sets of their handles... one is finished and all ready for a blade... but no blades ;/

I really wanted a sandwich style bali.

I bought a blade and some pin stock from them not long ago. I was happy with everything. Some of their blade pricing feels a little arbitrary to me but otherwise everything seems to be in order.

Jantz Supply has a very good selection (some of the exact same blades, too) and slightly lower prices on much of it. I haven't tried them yet, though.

I might be missing something major, but how are these custom? For the most part, they're just sending you a disassembled knife aren't they? What makes them custom?

Well they offer custom handle materials, and other parts that you can switch out. I plan on getting some new handle materials for my Spyderco.
