I have some experience with metalwork. That custom folder looks like an option.[/QUOTE]

The handle might be a little thin depending on you and your application. If this knife is going to be labor intensive then a thin handle may not be the best because it is difficult to get a solid grip. In contrast, small detail woodworking knives will often have oversized handles for more control. If you look at the photo in the link of the guy holding the knife in hand, his knuckles are bent about as far as they can be bent like gripping a pencil. Define your objective and let your objective define your gear.
My only experience with Coldsteel is my tomahawk. It easy to sharpen, but does not hold the edge too well.
