Matchmaking Service/Platform for Custom Knife Design Commissions
The user asked how to find a knife maker for a unique, one-off knife design because they don't have the time or skills to do it themselves. This suggests a need for a service—something that isn't just a software platform but could be facilitated by one—that connects people looking for custom knives with artisans who can take on such projects. This could be a curated directory, a matchmaking service, or a brokering agent. The main benefit would be helping individuals bring their unique knife ideas to life and providing custom makers with clients.

You don't need someone who works in your steel exactly, lots of information out there o
